Audiology
About 92625: Tinnitus psychoacoustic assessment
Report this service for an audiologic assessment that characterizes tinnitus through measures such as pitch and loudness matching.
An audiologist typically performs this assessment for a patient reporting tinnitus, often in an outpatient audiology or otolaryngology setting. The work characterizes the perceived sound using psychoacoustic measures such as pitch or loudness matching and other appropriate tinnitus measurements. It addresses the tinnitus itself, rather than simply measuring hearing thresholds or evaluating an implanted hearing device.
Report the service when the record supports a distinct tinnitus assessment and documents the patient’s reported symptoms, measures performed, results, and clinical purpose. It is not a time-increment code; do not calculate units from elapsed minutes. CMS prices the code as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. The assessment may accompany separately performed hearing tests when each service is supported by the encounter documentation.

92625 billing questions
How is this different from a comprehensive hearing test?
92625 characterizes tinnitus with measures such as pitch or loudness matching. A comprehensive audiometric evaluation such as 92557 measures hearing thresholds and speech recognition.
Should modifier 50 be appended when tinnitus affects both ears?
CMS prices 92625 as bilateral. Modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Can a hearing test be reported on the same date?
A separately performed hearing evaluation, such as 92557, may be reported when its work is documented. The tinnitus assessment does not replace threshold or speech testing.
How many units should be reported?
This is not an additional-time code. Base reporting on the completed tinnitus assessment and its documentation, not on elapsed minutes.
What documentation supports 92625?
Document the tinnitus complaint, the assessment measures performed, the results, and the clinical reason for the assessment. Identify any separately performed hearing tests in the record.
