What 95912 covers
Nerve conduction studies use electrical stimulation and recording electrodes to measure how peripheral nerves conduct signals. Neurologists and physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians commonly use them to evaluate concerns such as focal nerve entrapment or generalized peripheral neuropathy. Testing may be performed in an office or hospital setting, with trained staff involved in the technical work and a qualified practitioner interpreting the findings.
Select this tier when the completed examination includes 11 or 12 qualifying nerve conduction studies; choose the tier by the study count, not simply by the number of nerves or limbs examined. The report should support the studies performed and their findings. CMS recognizes a professional component for interpretation (modifier 26) and a technical component for equipment and staff (modifier TC); reporting 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.

How to choose
- 95911Nerve conduction study
- 95911 is the lower study-count tier for 9–10 studies; 95912 is used for 11–12.
- 95913Nerve conduction
- 95913 is for examinations with 13 or more studies. Use 95912 when the total is 11 or 12.
- 95905Nerve conduction test
- 95905 describes automated nerve conduction testing, rather than selecting a conventional study-count tier such as 95912.
- 95886Needle EMG add-on
- 95886 describes needle EMG of an extremity, not nerve conduction studies; both may be reported when each service is performed.
95912 billing questions
When should 95912 be chosen instead of 95911 or 95913?
Use 95912 when the examination includes 11 or 12 qualifying nerve conduction studies. The adjacent tiers are for 9–10 studies and 13 or more studies, respectively.
Is 95912 reported once per nerve or once per study?
Choose one code from the nerve conduction study series based on the total qualifying study count. Do not treat the tier as a separate unit for each nerve or limb.
Can nerve conduction testing and needle EMG be reported together?
They represent distinct electrodiagnostic services. When needle EMG is performed and documented, it may be reported with the applicable EMG code.
What do modifiers 26 and TC indicate for 95912?
Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, while TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports reporting 95912?
Document the studies performed, the results, and the interpretation. The record should support a total of 11 or 12 qualifying studies.
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.
