95909 Nerve conduction Medicare reimbursement rates in Oregon

Nerve conduction testing measures how electrical signals travel through peripheral nerves. A clinician stimulates selected nerves and records responses with electrodes to assess findings such as slowed conduction or reduced response amplitude. Neurologists and physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians commonly perform or interpret these studies in office and hospital settings when evaluating suspected polyneuropathy, entrapment neuropathy, or nerve injury. This code represents a study count of five or six; it is not selected by the number of diagnoses or limbs alone.

Select the code from the number of qualifying nerve conduction studies performed and documented for the encounter. The record should identify the nerves and study components tested and support the reported count and clinical purpose. Needle electromyography may be performed and reported separately when indicated and documented. Medicare recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service. The professional and technical portions may be separately priced when reported with those modifiers.
