Advocating for Transparent, Timely Information about New CPT Hearing Aid Service Codes
ADA Members,
On July 15, 2025, ADA notified members about the newly announced CPT hearing aid service codes, shepherded and promoted by the American Academy of Audiology and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and voiced concerns about the codes and the process and timeline for their implementation. Our advocacy has resulted in action.
On July 21, 2023, ADA received a joint letter from AAA and ASHA regarding the concerns that ADA had justifiably raised. Read the AAA/ASHA letter addressed to ADA here.
Today, ADA responded to AAA and ASHA to ensure that ongoing discourse on this important issue is principled, transparent, and fact-based. ADA’s response letter includes questions for AAA and ASHA about the new CPT code set, and a request for timely information that can be used to develop actionable guidance for audiologists.
ADA reimbursement experts are already putting together a series of resources for ADA members. ADA will hold a special three-hour workshop on Sunday, September 28, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. at AuDacity, to discuss preliminary findings and recommendations. ADA is also planning webinars, articles and FAQs to assist members in preparing for the changes ahead. Stay tuned for more information.
