Example 1: A patient with a bone-anchored hearing aid requires adjustments to the sound processor's settings due to changes in their hearing. The audiologist spends 75 minutes performing analysis, programming, and verification. Codes 92622 and 92623 would be used., A patient reports feedback issues with their bone-anchored hearing aid.The audiologist spends an additional 30 minutes beyond the initial 60-minute programming session to diagnose and resolve the feedback, requiring one additional unit of 92623., A patient with a newly implanted bone-anchored hearing aid requires multiple programming sessions in the first month to optimize hearing. The first visit is 60 minutes (92622). The second visit is 45 minutes (92622 + 92623), and the third visit is 15 minutes (92623).
Detailed documentation should include the type of auditory osseointegrated sound processor, the specific adjustments made, the duration of each session, and the patient's response to the adjustments.Pre- and post-programming audiometric testing results should be documented.Specific details of the problem(s) being addressed should be noted.
