Static balance/posturography

I from a large multi specialty clinic that has just obtained new epuipment to assess balance and to alos perform Vestibular Function testing and I needed to see if anyone has ever had to try and bill for a "Static Posturography" which is different from the 92548 - Computerized dynamic posturography. I have read several websites about the procedures but have been unable to find a definitive answer.

Thank you in advance,
Marci

Try 92532 (Positional nystagmus test)

A positional nystagmus test measures whether the eyes can maintain a static position when the head is in different position, which helps in documenting and quantifying patient complaints of dizziness in certain positions. The test also may be performed as a diagnostic tool to determine if an abnormality is associated with the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system. The patient is placed in a variety of positions including supine with head extended dorsally, left and right, and sitting in an attempt to induce nystagmus. This is done with the patient's eye open so that eye movements can be observed directly. No recording electrodes are used to record the nystagmus.

Positional nystagmus testing includes any evaluation and management services provided on the same date.
