CPT 92570: Tympanometry with Reflex Threshold and Reflex Decay Testing
CPT code 92570 represents a bundled audiologic evaluation that includes tympanometry, acoustic reflex threshold measurement, and acoustic reflex decay testing when all three tests are completed by a provider. These combined tests assess middle-ear compliance and neural reflex pathways, aiding in identification of the anatomical site contributing to hearing loss. Nationally, the code is relevant to outpatient audiology and otolaryngology practices, hearing centers, and Medicare-covered diagnostic services.
Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise clinical context for the bundled testing performed under 92570, typical sites of service, and the practical implications for billing and claim submission. The publication provides benchmark-oriented coverage considerations, common modifier interactions (listed separately), and connections to related audiologic services.
This summary structures information for clinicians, billing staff, and policy analysts who need a clear national overview of what CPT code 92570 represents, how it is used in practice, and what coverage stakeholders commonly include in analyses of audiology diagnostic codes. Data not available in the input is noted where applicable in detailed sections.

Billing Code Overview
CPT code 92570 is a global audiologic test panel that bundles tympanometry, acoustic reflex threshold measurement, and acoustic reflex decay testing when all three procedures are performed together. The grouped services evaluate the functional integrity of the tympanic membrane and middle ear and help localize conductive versus sensorineural causes of hearing loss.
Service type: Diagnostic audiology tests (middle-ear and reflex assessment)
Typical site of service: Audiology clinic, otolaryngology clinic, or outpatient hearing center
