Frequently asked questions

No. V5010 and CPT 92557 should not be billed together for the same patient visit, since they overlap in the audiologic evaluation components. V5010 is intended specifically for preparing for hearing aid selection, whereas 92557 is a comprehensive audiological evaluation used more broadly.

Medicare generally excludes coverage for hearing aid assessments including V5010. Audiology services are covered only when they address medical diagnoses, not for hearing aid fitting or selection.

Medi-Cal requires the YW modifier when audiological services (including HCPCS codes V5008 through V5010) are performed by Registered Professional Audiology (RPA) candidates or supervised trainees.
