Coding and Reimbursement for Vestibular Tests by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Coding and insurance reimbursement is a part of the healthcare system in the United States but is subject to periodic modifications. In addition to changes in the evaluation and management (E/M) codes that took effect in 2021, there are some differences in coding for some diagnostic vestibular function test procedures. Two new codes for vestibular myogenic evoked potential testing were added and previous codes for auditory evoked potential codes 92585 and 92586, which some facilities had used to bill for vestibular myogenic evoked potential testing, have been eliminated. This article outlines the current state of coding and reimbursement by CMS for vestibular procedures.
