I just recently started having Medicare down code my ENG testing, normally i would code the 92541 with 3 units and 92542 with 2 units. Medicare is only paying for 1 unit and wants me to appeal why there are 3 units for the 1st and 2 units for the 2nd code. Is anyone having this problem? When i ask the audiologist why they are coded this way no one can answer that for me, they just say that it is routine. Can someone help me?

the ENG testing codes 92541 and 92542 should only be 1 unit.
92543 x4. ???
who told you that you should be billing units for the other two?

If you subscribe to the audiology coding alerts.it is very specific on which codes to use. the AAO-HNS has a grid as well.
