Billing G0268 twice for bilateral cerumen removal is a coding error. The single code covers the entire procedure regardless of laterality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-same-day-audiologic-testing-the-qualifying-condition\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Same-day audiologic testing: The qualifying condition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">G0268 applies only when impacted cerumen removal happens on the same calendar date as audiologic function testing. CMS writes that date match into the coverage criteria itself. Without a qualifying audiologic test on the same date of service, the claim is not payable under G0268.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pairing has clinical logic behind it. Cerumen impaction can skew audiologic test results, so removal before testing is clinically necessary. CMS pays for the two services together under one code. These tests qualify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pure-tone audiometry (CPT 92552, 92553)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speech audiometry (CPT 92555, 92556)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tympanometry (CPT 92567)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Acoustic reflex testing (CPT 92568)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Auditory brainstem response (CPT 92585, 92586)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Otoacoustic emissions (CPT 92587, 92588)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Document both the cerumen removal and the audiologic test in the same encounter note. The date of service on the claim must match for both. Digital medical forms that capture the procedure and the test date in one record make that pairing easy to verify at billing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-g0268-vs-cpt-69210-which-code-applies\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">G0268 vs CPT 69210: Which code applies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The payer decides which code applies, together with whether audiologic testing happened on the same day. Use G0268 for a Medicare patient who also had a same-day audiologic test.

ENT physicians and primary care physicians with the scope to perform cerumen removal are the typical billing providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Audiologists are the clear exception. Under CMS Article A56454, Medicare cannot reimburse an audiologist for G0268 or CPT 69210 under their own NPI in any circumstances. Cerumen removal performed by an audiologist is bundled into the audiologic testing, so it carries no separate payment.

The biller opens the chart and sees the audiologic test dated a day later than the removal. Fixing it then means a corrected claim and another wait for payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hearing test and the cerumen removal are booked in the same calendar, so a mismatched date is visible before the encounter is closed. The ICD-10 code chosen in the clinical note carries straight into the claim, so nobody retypes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Claim rules handle the last check. A G0268 line with a unit count above 1 gets flagged for the biller. So does a G0268 claim with no audiologic test code beside it. Your team corrects both in seconds instead of chasing a resubmission weeks later.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div id=\"book_a_demo\">\n            <div class=\"left-side\">\n                <div class=\"logo\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\"\n                        src=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Logo.svg\"\n                        alt=\"Logo\"\n                        loading=\"lazy\"\n                    \/>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <h3 class=\"heading\">\n                    Cut G0268 denials with cleaner claim data                <\/h3>\n\n                <p class=\"description\">\n                    Pabau links clinical notes to billing codes and flags a missing same-day test pairing before submission.

Reach for CPT 69210 whenever the payer is not Medicare, or the hearing test falls on another date, or an audiologist performed the removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once scheduling, clinical notes, and billing read from the same record, the pairing looks after itself. <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/book-demo\/\">Book a demo<\/a> to see how Pabau verifies the G0268 pairing before

class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is HCPCS code G0268?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">HCPCS code G0268 covers removal of impacted cerumen from one or both ears. Medicare pays it only when the removal happens on the same date of service as audiologic function testing. It is not a CPT code and applies to Medicare payers only.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786352289531\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between G0268 and CPT 69210?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">G0268 applies to Medicare claims only and requires same-day audiologic function testing. CPT 69210 is used for all non-Medicare payers, and for Medicare encounters where no same-day audiologic test was performed. The codes are not interchangeable.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786352289532\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What ICD-10 codes are used with G0268?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The primary ICD-10-CM codes paired with G0268 are H61.20 (unspecified ear), H61.21 (right ear), H61.22 (left ear), and H61.23 (bilateral). Always document laterality when it is known. Use H61.20 only when the chart genuinely does not specify which ear was affected.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786352289533\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can audiologists bill G0268?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. Medicare cannot reimburse audiologists for G0268 or CPT 69210 under their own NPI under any circumstances, per CMS Article A56454. Cerumen removal by an audiologist is bundled into the audiologic testing. Only the physician who performed the removal bills the code.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786352289534\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does G0268 cover one ear or both ears?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">G0268 covers one or both ears under a single code billed with one unit. Do not submit two G0268 lines for a bilateral cerumen removal. The descriptor explicitly includes &#8222;one or both ears&#8220;, so bilateral treatment is captured in one claim line.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786352289536\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do you need modifier 50 for bilateral cerumen removal?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not for Medicare. G0268 covers both ears in one unit, and Medicare also wants CPT 69210 billed as one unit with no modifier. CMS denies claims that carry modifier 50, LT, or RT on 69210. Commercial payer rules can differ, so check the policy.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786352289535\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What audiologic tests qualify for the same-day G0268 requirement?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Six test families qualify. The first three are pure-tone audiometry (CPT 92552, 92553), speech audiometry (CPT 92555, 92556), and tympanometry (CPT 92567). Acoustic reflex testing (CPT 92568), auditory brainstem response (CPT 92585, 92586), and otoacoustic emissions testing (CPT 92587, 92588) also count.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G0268 applies only when audiologic testing happens the same day.
