CPT code 92507 refers to the “treatment of speech, language, voice, communication, and/or auditory processing disorder; individual.” This code is used by healthcare providers to bill for individual therapy services that address various communication disorders. These disorders may include speech, language, voice, communication, or auditory processing issues.
Examples of when CPT code 92507 might be used:
- Stuttering: A speech-language pathologist provides individual therapy to a patient who has difficulty with fluent speech production due to stuttering. The therapist works with the patient to develop strategies to improve fluency and reduce the occurrence of stuttering.
- Expressive Language Disorder: A child has difficulty formulating sentences, using appropriate grammar, and expressing their thoughts clearly. The speech-language pathologist works with the child in one-on-one sessions to develop their expressive language skills, including vocabulary, syntax, and sentence structure.
- Voice Disorders: An individual experiences hoarseness or strain in their voice that impacts their ability to communicate effectively. The speech-language pathologist provides individual therapy to help the patient improve their vocal quality by teaching proper vocal techniques, breath support, and strategies to minimize vocal strain.
