This article is a part of the July/August 2017, Volume 29, Number 4, Audiology Today issue. 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). Most recently, the groups worked together to create guidance addressing various issues related to coding and reimbursement for audiology services. That guidance is detailed below in an FAQ format and discusses medical necessity, proper coding for otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), and other commonly asked coding questions. This information, as well as other collaborative guidance documents, is also available on the Academy’s website.
