Submitted charge to Medicare 99204(25 modifier) then charged the NCS 95909 & 95885 for carpal tunnel diagnosis. Per Medicare "This procedure or procedure/modifier combination is not compatible with another procedure or procedure/modifier combination provided on the same day according to the NCCI.
Have researched all avenues that I can find and there seems to be nothing that gives me information that this type of coding would have changed since January 2016.
Could someone please assist in helping me clarify this response from Medicare.
Thank you.
 
We always use 95886 for the EMG and have no problem getting paid with a "symptom" dx, not the findings. The only thing I can think of is that the E&M shouldn't require the modifier 25.
