This presentation will provide practical knowledge and resources to support future clinical work.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be able to explain the relationship between CPT and ICD coding systems and how they work together to document medical necessity and support reimbursement for vestibular services.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to apply appropriate code selection for various vestibular services given case scenarios.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to identify frequently misunderstood code applications in vestibular audiology.
