Members of the American Academy of Audiology’s Coding and Reimbursement Committee (CRC) and the Practice Policy Advisory Council (PPAC) often collaborate with other audiology organizations, including the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA), to develop coding guidance based on frequently asked questions (FAQs). The following content provides guidance on various issues related to coding and reimbursement for audiology services and has been compiled in collaboration with and authored by experts from the Academy, ASHA, and ADA.
