What 95887 covers

This service evaluates electrical activity in muscles outside the limbs while nerve conduction testing is also performed. The sampled muscles may include facial or other cranial-nerve-supplied muscles, spinal muscles, or thoracic paraspinal muscles. Neurologists, physiatrists, and other clinicians trained in electrodiagnostic testing commonly perform and interpret the study in office or facility settings. The needle examination helps assess motor-unit activity in muscles selected to investigate a suspected nerve, root, or neuromuscular disorder.

Report 95887 as an add-on with the nerve-conduction study primary procedure, not by itself. Documentation should identify the muscles examined, the clinical reason for sampling them, and the findings, alongside the nerve-conduction study record. CMS treats it as paid within the primary procedure's global period. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the technical service; without either modifier, the claim represents the global service. When performed bilaterally, each side is paid separately at 100%.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
