Coverage Guidance

Abstract: National Government Services (NGS) expects healthcare professionals who perform electrodiagnostic (ED) testing will be appropriately trained and/or credentialed, either by a formal residency/fellowship program, certification by a nationally recognized organization, or by an accredited post-graduate training course covering anatomy, neurophysiology and forms of electrodiagnostics (including both NCS and EMG) acceptable to this Contractor, in order to provide the proper testing and assessment of the patient's condition, and appropriate safety measures. The electrodiagnostic evaluation is an extension of the neurologic portion of the physical examination.

What is a nerve conduction study?

Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are used to measure action potentials resulting from peripheral nerve stimulation which are recordable over the nerve or from an innervated muscle. With this technique, responses are measured between two sites of stimulation, or between a stimulus and a recording site.

How long does it take to perform a nerve conduction study?

These consultations usually take a minimum of 30 minutes to perform and can take up to 2 hours or more in particularly complicated clinical situations.

What is CPT code 95869?

CPT Code 95869 – Needle electromyography; thoracic paraspinal muscles. 1. CPT code 95869 should be used to bill a limited EMG study of specific muscles. Examinations confined to distal muscles only, such as intrinsic foot or hand muscles, will be reimbursed as Code 95869 and not as 95860-95866. 2.

What is the CPT code for paraspinal muscles?

It is expected that providers will use CPT code 95870 for sampling muscles other than the paraspinals associated with the extremities, which have been tested. Medicare would not expect to see this code billed when the paraspinal muscles corresponding to an extremity are tested and when the extremity EMG code 95860, 95861, 95863 or 95864 is also billed. The necessity and reasonableness of the following uses of EMG studies have not been established:#N#exclusive testing of intrinsic foot muscles in the diagnosis of proximal lesions

What are the two types of EMG?

Two main types of EMG exist: needle EMG (NEMG) and surface EMG (SEMG). Surface electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic technique in which electrodes are placed on the skin and used to measure the electrical activity of the underlying muscle in response to electrical or nerve stimulation.

Why are EMGs and NCSs required?

Both EMGs and NCSs are required for a clinical diagnosis of peripheral nervous system disorders. EMG results reflect on the integrity of the functioning connection between a nerve and its innervated muscle and also on the integrity of a muscle itself. Performance of one does not eliminate the need for the other.

What is a NCS in EMG?

Ongoing real-time assessment of data is required during the clinical diagnostic evaluation and especially during EMG examination. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are used to measure action potentials resulting from peripheral nerve stimulation which are recordable over the nerve or from an innervated muscle.
