Oct 19, 2026
Summary
Aetna's CPB 0700 policy (reviewed 2026-10-15) classifies rhinomanometry, acoustic rhinometry, and optical rhinometry as experimental, investigational, or unproven. CPT code 92512 (nasal function studies) is not covered for the listed ICD-10 indications (acute sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, deviated septum, nasal turbinate hypertrophy). The policy has no stated effective date change; this appears to be a routine policy review with no new coverage modifications indicated.
Action Required
Verify current applicability: Confirm whether your practice currently bills CPT 92512 for any of the listed ICD-10 indications (J01.00–J01.91, J30.1–J30.9, J32.0–J32.9, J34.2, J34.3). If claims for rhinomanometry have been submitted under these diagnoses, they will be denied as non-covered. Billing team should retain this policy reference and apply the non-coverage designation to CPT 92512 when paired with these specific diagnoses in your billing system. No implementation deadline is stated; this is an existing policy reviewed on 2026-10-15.
