What 92622 covers
An audiologist performs a focused diagnostic assessment of an auditory osseointegrated sound processor, such as a processor used with a bone-conduction implant. The work may include checking processor function, assessing the patient’s auditory response, and adjusting settings when indicated. This is device-focused analysis, rather than a general hearing evaluation or a cochlear implant programming service. It is commonly performed in an audiology clinic during an initial assessment or a clinically needed processor review.
Report 92622 for the first 60 minutes of the analysis. When the service extends beyond that time, 92623 represents each additional 15 minutes; document the service performed and the time supporting the additional units. CMS prices 92622 as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. The record should identify the osseointegrated processor and support why diagnostic analysis was performed, with findings and any adjustments made.

92622 billing questions
How is 92622 different from cochlear implant analysis?
92622 is for diagnostic analysis of an osseointegrated sound processor, such as a bone-conduction implant processor. Cochlear implant analysis is reported with the cochlear implant-specific codes, selected by the patient’s age and service circumstances.
When is 92623 reported with 92622?
92622 covers the first 60 minutes. Report 92623 for each additional 15 minutes when the analysis continues beyond the first hour, and document the time supporting those units.
Should modifier 50 be appended for analysis of both sides?
No. CMS prices 92622 as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Does 92622 describe a general hearing evaluation?
No. It describes diagnostic analysis of an auditory osseointegrated sound processor. A broader evaluation of auditory function or hearing-aid candidacy has a different service focus.
What documentation supports 92622?
Document the osseointegrated processor assessed, the reason for diagnostic analysis, the evaluation findings, any settings changes, and the time spent when reporting additional units of 92623.
