what tests can an oto tech perform for medicare patients and bill incident to?

I think

Incident rules do not apply to a tech performing tests. Incident rules apply when performing an evaluation/management. So the tech is doing the test but the doctor is interpreting the test.

Is your tech doing hearing tests?

A tech can perform tests ordered by the MD. The MD must specifically list which tests h/she wants done. An audiologist may assess a patient sent for "hearing eval" and select which tests are appropriate.

Codapedia Editor** can we revisit this topic more indepth? Our office is considering hiring an audio tech to perform audios but are finding conflicting information whether they can perform it in its entirety. Thank you
