New Codes for Video Head Impulse Test

We are pleased to announce that the AMA CPT Editorial Panel has accepted the addition of two new Category I CPT codes to report the Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT).

These new codes reflect advancements in vestibular diagnostics and support more accurate reporting of clinical services. With the CPT approval, we are now beginning the AMA RVS Update Committee (RUC) survey process to develop recommendations for clinical work and practice expense valuation.

The Academy’s input is vital to ensure these services are accurately represented. If you receive a RUC survey via email, please complete it thoroughly and on time. Your clinical insight—comparing the new codes to procedures you perform—is essential. 

You may review a brief educational video before you begin if you are unfamiliar with an AMA RUC Survey.
