On January 1, 2024, audiologists will have two new Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes to report for services related to the activation, fitting, programming, and verification of auditory osseointegrated devices (AODs). AODs are the U.S. Food and Drug Administration–approved bone conduction devices and can be indicated for individuals with conductive or mixed hearing losses or for single-sided deafness of sensorineural type. AODs can also come in various forms (e.g., surgical, nonsurgical, percutaneous, transcutaneous, etc.). The objective of this article is to offer insights to inform use of these new procedure codes by audiologists.
