CPT 92584: Auditory Evoked Potential Testing for Inner Ear Disorders
CPT code 92584 represents diagnostic auditory evoked potential testing that stimulates the inner ear with sound and records electrical responses along the auditory pathway. This neurophysiological test supports diagnosis of inner ear and auditory nerve disorders and informs clinical decisions in audiology and otolaryngology. Nationally, the code matters for accurate identification of sensorineural hearing loss, auditory neuropathy, and for monitoring auditory system function in complex diagnostic workflows.
Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise overview of clinical context and service delivery, typical sites of service, billing considerations, and commonly used modifiers. The publication outlines benchmarks where available and summarizes relevant policy and coverage themes that affect utilization and reimbursement for auditory evoked potential testing.
This summary provides clinical context, coding clarity, and the topics readers can expect: how CPT code 92584 is used in practice, payer coverage patterns, common billing modifiers and documentation touchpoints, and implications for providers and facilities performing diagnostic auditory evoked potential services. Data not available in the input will be noted where appropriate.

Billing Code Overview
CPT code 92584 describes a diagnostic auditory evoked potentials test in which the provider stimulates sound waves in the inner ear and measures the electrical signals (evoked potentials) generated by the auditory nerve and central nervous system. Results are used to identify inner ear and auditory pathway disorders, including sensorineural hearing loss and auditory neuropathies.
Service type: Diagnostic auditory evoked potential testing
Typical site of service: Audiology or otolaryngology clinic, hospital outpatient department, or specialized diagnostic center
