Wiki EMG codes 95910 and 95886

[purnern19]

My provider is trying to bill the codes 95910 and 95886 together for an EMG to Medicare. It is coming back that there is an error with the coding. Does anyone know how to code these correctly?

What does the actual denial state?

What does the actual denial state?

I'm not getting a denial, the claim is not making it past the clearinghouse. The report that comes back from them states there is an error in the coding but doesn't state what the error is.

I would check with the clearing house to see what the issue is. Coding error is pretty vague and could be a number of things. A couple things that come to mind is charges were not on the same date, units billed may be incorrect, dx is not covered per LCD.

Are you billing any modifiers for the EMG 95886 , or quantities (if more than one extremity) ?
