What 95908 covers
Nerve conduction studies measure how electrical signals travel along peripheral nerves. Neurologists and physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians commonly use them to evaluate symptoms such as hand numbness from suspected median neuropathy at the wrist, ulnar nerve symptoms, or findings suggesting a generalized peripheral neuropathy. Testing may be performed in an office or hospital outpatient setting, and may be paired with needle electromyography when the clinical question also calls for assessment of muscle electrical activity.
Select this code when the total number of separately reportable nerve conduction studies performed is three or four, applying CPT counting rules rather than choosing by diagnosis or number of limbs alone. Document the nerves and methods tested, results, and interpretation. The global service includes the professional interpretation and the technical work, equipment, and staff. Modifier 26 identifies the professional component; modifier TC identifies the technical component. CMS separately prices both modifiers.
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.

95908 billing questions
How is this code chosen over 95907 or 95909?
Choose 95908 when the completed evaluation includes three or four separately reportable nerve conduction studies. Use 95907 for one or two studies and 95909 for five or six.
Does needle EMG count toward the three or four studies?
No. Needle electromyography evaluates muscle electrical activity and is distinct from nerve conduction studies; it does not add to the nerve conduction study count.
When should modifier 26 or TC be used?
Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation or modifier TC for the technical work, equipment, and staff. Report the code without either modifier for the global service.
What documentation supports reporting 95908?
Record the nerves and testing methods, the study results, and the interpretation. The documentation should support a total of three or four separately reportable nerve conduction studies.
Can this be reported with needle EMG?
Yes, nerve conduction testing may be performed with needle EMG when both services are clinically indicated and separately documented. The EMG is reported separately and is not included in the nerve conduction study count.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
