Education and Implementation Resources for Treatment Codes Replacing 92507

Although the new speech-language pathology treatment code family becomes effective January 1, 2027, implementation may vary by payer. State Medicaid programs and commercial health plans may adopt the new codes on different timelines or establish their own coverage, payment, and billing policies. Some payers may continue to recognize CPT code 92507 until they update their fee schedules, coverage policies, and claims-processing systems.

The resources on this page are available to help you as payers implement the new codes.
