0107T Vibrate quantitative sensory test
Also known as: QST vibration test, vibration threshold testing, biothesiometry
Quantitative sensory testing (QST) using vibration stimuli to assess vibratory sensation thresholds. Category III code for standardized psychophysical testing of vibration perception.
In Plain Language
vibration sensitivity test; vibration sensation test
Clinical Context
Used for quantitative sensory testing using calibrated vibration stimuli to assess large fiber sensory neuropathy. Vibration perception threshold testing is particularly useful in early detection of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and monitoring neuropathy progression.
RVU Information
CPT 0107T does not have a physician work RVU assigned by CMS. Category III codes for emerging technology do not receive RVU assignments. Reimbursement is negotiated with individual payers.
Billing & Documentation
Category III codes are temporary codes for emerging technology, services, and procedures. They are not assigned RVU values by CMS. Coverage and reimbursement vary by payer — check with individual insurers before billing. These codes sunset after 5 years if not converted to Category I.
