92579 (VRA) and 92582 (CPA) are differentiated by the method of response reinforcement used and the types of stimuli that are considered part of the procedure. These codes are historical codes and currently do not have detailed code descriptions. Payers have relied on traditional practice standards that were available at the time the codes were last valued. Historically, descriptions of VRA test procedures included both speech and tonal stimuli as part of the test protocol. In contrast, CPA test protocols included tonal stimuli but did not include speech stimuli.
