Encounter for adjust and mgmt of bone conduction device

This code signifies a patient encounter focused on the maintenance, programming, or fitting of a bone conduction device. This includes both osseointegrated (surgically implanted) and non-osseointegrated (e.g., bone-anchored hearing aids, Baha, or other bone conduction systems) devices, ensuring their optimal function for hearing improvement.

Use this code for follow-up visits where the primary purpose is to adjust the settings of a bone conduction device, replace external components, or address issues related to its fit or function. This applies to patients who already have a device in place and are seeking ongoing management rather than initial implantation.

• Do not use for initial placement or implantation of the bone conduction device; refer to procedure codes for those services.
• Always code additional diagnoses for the underlying hearing loss (e.g., H90.x) or other conditions necessitating the device.
• Distinguish from encounters for complications of the device, which would require a T-code.
