CPT 92567: Tympanometry with Middle-Ear Pressure Assessment
CPT code 92567 denotes a diagnostic audiology procedure that evaluates middle ear function by varying air pressure to determine causes of hearing loss. This middle-ear pressure test (tympanometry variant) is a commonly used objective measure in audiology and otolaryngology to detect middle ear effusion, eustachian tube dysfunction, and other conductive pathologies. Nationally, accurate coding of 92567 matters for clinical documentation, appropriate site-of-service designation, and payer adjudication for diagnostic audiology services.
Key payers included in this analysis are Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. The publication outlines coverage considerations and typical use across outpatient audiology and hospital outpatient settings.

Billing Code Overview
CPT code 92567 describes an audiologic procedure that assesses middle ear function by varying the air pressure presented to the ear to help identify causes of hearing loss. The test evaluates the mobility of the tympanic membrane and ossicular chain in response to pressure changes and aids in diagnosing conditions such as eustachian tube dysfunction, middle ear effusion, or tympanic membrane perforation.
