Audiology

About 92582: Conditioned-play hearing threshold test

Reports behavioral pure-tone hearing threshold testing in which a patient is conditioned to perform a play task in response to sound.

In conditioning play audiometry, the audiologist teaches the patient to make a simple play response, such as placing an object in a container, when a tone is heard. The response allows the clinician to estimate hearing thresholds through behavioral testing. This approach is commonly used with children who can learn the task but may not reliably complete conventional button-press testing. Audiologists typically perform it in an audiology clinic or other setting equipped for hearing assessment.

Report the service when the conditioning-play method is used to obtain hearing thresholds, and document the test method, responses, and results. The code is priced for testing of both ears; modifier 50 does not increase payment. CMS classifies it as a technical-component-only service, with interpretation covered by a separate code. The record should distinguish this play-response method from visual reinforcement or picture-based testing and support the medical reason for assessing hearing.

92582 billing questions

When should 92582 be used instead of conventional pure-tone audiometry?

Use it when the patient is conditioned to perform a play action in response to tones. Conventional pure-tone testing uses a different response method and is appropriate when the patient can reliably complete that task.

How does conditioning play differ from visual reinforcement audiometry?

Conditioning play relies on a learned play response to sound. Visual reinforcement audiometry uses a visual stimulus to reinforce a response to sound.

Is interpretation included in 92582?

No. CMS identifies 92582 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.

Should modifier 50 be appended when both ears are tested?

The code is already priced as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

What documentation supports reporting 92582?

Document that the patient was conditioned to perform a play response to tones, the testing performed, the responses obtained, and the resulting hearing thresholds.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
