Wiki Audiology coding

Does anyone do audiology coding and if so can i get some info on it.

I really was wondering if the audiologist can bill an e/m code

Medicare does not allow audiologists to bill E&M or therapeutic services, just diagnostic tests. Other payers may have different rules for this though.

Here's a page on the CMS web site specifically dedicated to audiology and it has a lot of good information, including a list of eligible codes:
