2025 CPT code 95911

Nerve conduction studies; 9-10 studies.

Follow all guidelines and instructions provided in the current CPT codebook regarding nerve conduction studies. Adherence to proper techniques and documentation is essential for accurate coding and appropriate reimbursement.

Modifiers 26 (professional component) and TC (technical component) may be applicable depending on the services rendered and the billing arrangement.

NCS is medically necessary to evaluate peripheral nerve function in patients with symptoms suggestive of peripheral neuropathy, nerve compression syndromes, or other neurologic conditions.This allows for early diagnosis, appropriate treatment planning, and monitoring of disease progression.

The clinical responsibility includes the physician or qualified healthcare professional performing the nerve conduction studies, interpreting the results, and generating a report. This requires knowledge of neurophysiology, electrodiagnostic techniques, and proper electrode placement.

IMPORTANT:Codes 95907-95913 describe nerve conduction tests.Use 95885-95887 in conjunction with 95907-95913 when performing electromyography with nerve conduction studies.

In simple words: This test checks how well your nerves send electrical signals.The doctor uses small stickers with electrodes to send tiny electrical impulses to your nerves and measure how quickly the signal travels. This helps find problems with nerve damage.

This CPT code encompasses the performance of nine or ten nerve conduction studies (NCS).NCS is a diagnostic test evaluating the function and electrical conduction capabilities of motor and sensory peripheral nerves. The procedure involves stimulating a nerve with a mild electrical impulse and recording the resulting electrical activity.Analysis includes parameters like latency, conduction velocity, and amplitude, potentially including F waves and H reflexes.Each type of study (sensory, motor with or without F wave, H reflex) for each nerve constitutes a distinct study.Multiple stimulations or recordings on the same nerve are counted only once.

Example 1: A patient presents with numbness and tingling in their hands, suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome.The physician orders an NCS of the median nerve to assess nerve conduction velocity and confirm the diagnosis., A patient with suspected Guillain-Barré syndrome undergoes a comprehensive NCS of multiple nerves in the upper and lower extremities to evaluate the extent and pattern of demyelination., A patient experiences progressive weakness in their legs. NCS of the sciatic nerve and its branches are performed to identify the presence and location of any nerve damage, potentially indicating conditions like peripheral neuropathy or radiculopathy.
