What 95910 covers

Standard nerve conduction studies assess electrical responses in peripheral motor and sensory nerves by stimulating a nerve and recording responses at designated sites. Neurologists and other qualified electrodiagnostic clinicians use them in outpatient or hospital evaluations for suspected focal entrapment, generalized neuropathy, or other peripheral nerve dysfunction. The results may be paired with needle EMG when clinically indicated.

Report 95910 when the documented examination includes seven or eight qualifying nerve conduction studies. Select the code from the total study count, not simply the number of limbs or diagnoses. Documentation should identify the nerves and sites tested, recorded responses, and interpretation supporting the tests. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service.

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.

95910 billing questions

How does 95910 differ from 95909 or 95911?

Choose 95910 for seven or eight studies. 95909 represents five or six studies, while 95911 represents nine or ten.

Is 95910 selected by the number of limbs tested?

No. Select the code according to the total number of qualifying nerve conduction studies performed, rather than the number of limbs or diagnoses.

Can 95910 be reported with needle EMG?

Nerve conduction testing and needle EMG may be performed during the same electrodiagnostic evaluation. Report the EMG service separately when it is performed and documented as a distinct service.

When should modifier 26 or TC be used?

Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

How is 95910 different from 95905?

95910 reports conventional nerve conduction testing selected by study count. 95905 describes a distinct automated nerve conduction testing method and is not selected by the seven-to-eight-study range.

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.
