Removal of cerumen by an audiologist prior to audiologic function testing is not separately reportable. If the cerumen is impacted, cannot be removed by the audiologist, and requires removal by a physician, the physician may report HCPCS code G0268 (Removal of impacted cerumen (one or both ears) by physician on same date of service as audiologic function testing). The physician shall not report CPT code 69209 (removal of impacted cerumen using irrigation/lavage, unilateral) or 69210 (removal of impacted cerumen requiring instrumentation, unilateral) for this service.
