CPT code 95913: Nerve conduction, 13 or more studies2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $299.94 for 95913 nationally in the office. Local office rates run $272.15–$389.19.

Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 95913 covers

This code represents a nerve conduction testing service involving at least 13 studies. The clinician applies electrical stimulation and records responses to assess how peripheral nerves conduct signals. Testing may help evaluate symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness when conditions such as generalized neuropathy or focal entrapment, including carpal tunnel syndrome, are suspected. A physician or other qualified clinician performs or interprets the test, with equipment and staff supporting the technical work in an office or facility setting.

Select this code based on the total number of nerve conduction studies performed, not simply the number of nerves or limbs tested. The report should identify the studies performed, clinical indication, findings, and interpretation, with documentation supporting the count. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service.

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.
