ENTs refer to staff audiologists to provide diagnostic tests. Due to the shortage of audiologists, many of the tests in ENT offices are being performed by staff personnel who have no formal training or who are not under the supervision of an audiologist. Medicare allows for billing for these tests only if they are performed by an audiologist or by the physician. Who’s doing your test? |
Provide Diagnostic Testing for Medical Treatment, Follow-up Evaluation, non-medical treatment and rehabilitation for hearing loss Audiologists may employ and supervise audiology assistants and hearing aid dispensers. | Test hearing for the purpose of selling hearing aids (“free hearing tests”), fit and adjust hearing aids. Can not bill Medicare or other insurance companies for hearing tests because diagnostic testing is not within their scope of practice.
FYI: Hearing aid dispensers may employ audiologists in some states. Arizona does not have an exclusion. |
