Guidance for Audiology Coding Practices
Easy access from A to Z. From auditory processing disorder to cochlear implants and vestibular evaluation, we've got you covered with the most comprehensive and up-to-date coding and reimbursement resources by practice area.
Continuous improvement. We are advisors to the American Medical Association's (AMA) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) Panel for creating and revising codes. We participate to help ensure continuous improvement. We also engage in the AMA Relative Value Scale (RVS) Update Committee (RUC) process for valuation of codes.
CPT by Topic
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) AMA coding information and guidance are presented by topic area. Each topic provides a list of relevant CPT codes and related coding guidance for that area of practice.
Note: Additional topics will be added as they become available to ensure comprehensive and up-to-date coding resources.
ICD 10 Coding
The Academy's Coding and Reimbursement Committee (CRC) has developed ICD-10 coding information and resources for audiologists to use in their audiology practice.
Hearing Device Services Codes
The new hearing device services codes are different than the traditional diagnostic codes used in audiology, so we recognize that people will have questions and look for more guidance. The Academy has planned education in the weeks and months ahead that will provide members with how these codes may be useful once effective on January 1, 2026.
Superbill
The Academy's Coding and Reimbursement Committee (CRC) developed an updated superbill resource for 2025 to serve as a guide for audiologists working to prepare a superbill for their practices.
