CPT® Code 92595

The CPT® Code 92595 refers to the procedure known as an electroacoustic evaluation for hearing aids, specifically when conducted for both ears, or binaurally. This evaluation is typically performed during a follow-up visit where the audiologist assesses the performance and functionality of the hearing aids. The process involves downloading the data stored within the hearing aids, which allows the audiologist to conduct a thorough electronic or computerized analysis. This analysis yields critical information regarding the usage patterns of the hearing aids, including the average daily usage in hours and the typical noise environment experienced by the patient, whether it is quieter or louder than average. Additionally, the evaluation considers various other factors that are influenced by the specific characteristics of the hearing aids being used. Based on the findings from this comprehensive analysis, the audiologist may implement necessary programming changes to optimize the performance of the hearing aids for the patient. It is important to note that for evaluations conducted on a single ear, the appropriate code to use is 92594, while 92595 is designated for evaluations involving both ears.
