Our ENT is starting to do a smell and taste disturbance test in the office. Have you ever heard of one of these being able to bill insurance? If so, what code would you use?
 
Smell Test

I have no experience with a taste test by my ENT docs, but they do perform smell tests in the office. It is a 40 odorant UPSIT smell test and is billed out with the unlisted code of 92700. As with any unlisted codes I use that specific description and send a copy of the visit to the insurance company. Hope that helps some!
 
Reimbursement for taste and smell

I just saw this older dated thread and was wondering if you did start taste and smell testing and were you successful in getting it reimbursed. We performed it quite a few years ago and discontinued due to lack of reimbursement for various reasons i.e. not medically necessary
 
Upsit taste and smell testing

We have not started this testing. I wanted to investigate reimbursement and coding first. Since there is still no CPT code for this testing besides unlisted we are not moving forward with the testing.
