About 92567: Tympanometry middle ear testing
Measures eardrum mobility and middle ear pressure with a pressurized ear canal probe when evaluating effusion, eustachian tube dysfunction, or conductive hearing loss.
Tympanometry uses a sealed ear canal probe to vary air pressure and record how the tympanic membrane and middle ear system respond. The tympanogram helps assess middle ear fluid, negative pressure from eustachian tube dysfunction, and possible perforation or a patent ventilation tube when ear canal volume is unusually large. Audiologists, otolaryngologists, pediatricians, and primary care practices perform the test, usually in an office, sometimes alongside pure tone audiometry or after obstructing cerumen is removed.
Report one unit for testing both ears. CMS already prices 92567 as bilateral, so modifier 50 adds no payment; use modifier 52 to identify a reduced service when only one ear is tested. CMS classifies the code as a therapy service for its component indicator, so do not split the test into claims with modifiers 26 and TC. Document findings for each ear, including ear canal volume and measurable peak pressure and compliance, or a flat tracing if no peak is present. Use 92550 for a combined tympanometry and acoustic reflex threshold battery; 92570 includes reflex decay testing as well.
CMS billing rules for 92567
- Professional and technical components
- Therapy service: the professional component modifier does not apply.
- Bilateral procedures
- The code is already priced as bilateral; modifier 50 does not increase payment.

Office rates for Connecticut, from the same CMS release.
$32.81
92570 includes tympanometry, acoustic reflex thresholds, and reflex decay. Choose it when all three are performed; use 92567 for tympanometry alone or 92550 when thresholds are added without decay.
$16.04
92568 measures acoustic reflex thresholds rather than eardrum mobility. For a combined tympanometry and reflex threshold battery, use 92550 instead of reporting the tests separately.

How this local rate is calculated
Each RVU component is multiplied by its own geographic practice cost index (GPCI). The three adjusted components are added, then multiplied by the conversion factor. These are the inputs used for 92567 in Connecticut.

92567 billing questions
Can 92567 and 92568 be billed together for a combined test?
Report 92550 rather than separate 92567 and 92568 codes when tympanometry and acoustic reflex thresholds are performed as one battery.
How is a test on only one ear reported?
Report one unit with modifier 52 for a unilateral test. Do not append modifier 50: CMS already prices 92567 as bilateral.
Can a physician bill 92567-26 for interpreting a tympanogram performed elsewhere?
No. CMS does not recognize a professional component modifier for 92567, so an interpretation alone does not support a 92567-26 claim.
Is tympanometry separately billable with comprehensive audiometry 92557?
Yes. Comprehensive audiometry does not include tympanometry, so 92567 may be reported with 92557 when both tests are performed and documented.
What documentation supports 92567?
Keep the tympanogram or recorded findings for each tested ear, including ear canal volume and any measurable peak pressure and compliance. Document a flat tracing when no peak is present and include an interpretation.
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.
