At present, no CPT code exists for speech-in-noise tests performed to determine SNR Loss. Practitioners who submit for reimbursement use CPT 92700 (Unlisted ENT Service or Procedure). Using this code requires a narrative describing the procedure and its purpose, as well as substantiation from the literature.

• Reimbursement is typically fair.
• If the third-party payer is a private carrier (such as a PPO), the practitioner could meet with the insurance company to negotiate a fee for the procedure. The insurance company would then assign its own code for this procedure.
• Alternatively, the practitioner may choose to bill the patient for the procedure as a non-covered benefit, providing they discuss the charges with the patient prior to testing.
