Bundled Codes for Audiological Services – (01/05/2010)
There are three codes for CPT 2010 that have bundled together several audiology tests. These codes were created because the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) discovered that these tests were frequently billed together in the Medicare population. As a result, CMS felt that they were paying multiple times for the pre- and post- work that was included in each of the CPT codes.  CMS requested that the American Medical Association (AMA) CPT Editorial Panel and the Relative Value Update Committee (RUC) create bundled codes to address the situation, and to recommend relative values for the codes.
