CPT® Code 92614

Flexible endoscopic evaluation of laryngeal sensory function involves a detailed assessment of the larynx using advanced imaging techniques. This procedure is conducted with the patient in a seated position to facilitate access and comfort. Prior to the evaluation, local anesthesia is administered via an analgesic spray to numb the nasal passages and throat, minimizing discomfort during the procedure. An endoscope, a flexible tube equipped with a camera, is then carefully inserted through the nose or mouth and advanced into the throat. During the evaluation, puffs of air are delivered through the endoscope to stimulate the laryngeal sensory receptors, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of sensory function. The entire process is captured through cine or video recording, providing visual documentation of the laryngeal response to the stimuli. After the procedure, the recorded images are meticulously reviewed, and a written report detailing the findings related to sensory function is generated. This code, 92614, is specifically designated for the complete procedure, while 92615 is used when only the interpretation and report of findings are performed by the provider.
