Wiki Epley

There is a debate going on in our office regarding who can bill the Epley maneuver. I am a 20 year cardiology coder and have just switched specialties in August. Can anyone offer guidance?

The physician is the only one that can bill seperately for the procedure unless you have a ARNP that is billing incident to. Audiologist and nurses can perform it but it would be included in the physicians E/M not billed separately.

We have a physical therapist that is able to bill it in place of the audiologist. I just wanted to make sure I was correct that the audiologist could not. Thank you.
