Hi Coders, I am working with a doctor who is questioning the new NCS coding and reimbursement. I have given my opinion, as well as the opinion of my fellow coding peers at work. Despite our professional opinions, he's amicably unconvinced. I'm hoping a few more opinions will help. He has billed 95913 for 13 studies. My opinion is 8 studies.
How many studies would you code? Thank you, thank you for your time! It is greatly appreciated.
