Neurology testing

About 95911: Nerve conduction testing, 9-10 studies

Reports conventional nerve conduction testing when the examination includes nine or ten studies to evaluate suspected peripheral nerve dysfunction.

A physician or qualified clinician uses surface electrodes and electrical stimulation to measure how signals travel through peripheral nerves. The results can help assess conditions such as suspected carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, or generalized peripheral neuropathy. Neurologists and physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians commonly perform or interpret these tests in office and hospital settings. The study may be part of an electrodiagnostic evaluation that also includes needle electromyography.

Select this code when the documented examination comprises nine or ten nerve conduction studies; the count is based on the studies performed, not the diagnosis or number of body regions evaluated. Keep a record of the nerves and tests performed, along with the findings and interpretation. CMS recognizes separately priced professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service.

95911 billing questions

How is this code distinguished from 95910 or 95912?

Choose among these codes by the documented number of nerve conduction studies performed. This code is for nine or ten; 95910 is for seven or eight, and 95912 is for eleven or twelve.

Can needle EMG be reported with this service?

Yes, when needle electromyography is separately performed and documented as part of the electrodiagnostic evaluation. Nerve conduction testing and needle EMG describe different testing methods.

When should modifier 26 or TC be used?

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

Is 95905 interchangeable with this code?

No. 95905 describes nerve conduction testing with an automated device, while 95911 represents conventional testing counted by the number of studies performed.

What documentation supports the study count?

Document the nerves and testing performed, the results, and the interpretation. The record should support that the examination included nine or ten studies.
