Wiki EMG coding - Pt is 3 wks status post closed

[lbarker1130]

I work for a pain management doctor who performs EMG. We were billing 95860 or 95861 with 95907-95912 and Medicare started to deny stating those can't be billed together same day. I checked the NCCI edits and confirmed this is true. Does anyone know is it true you can only bill 95905 and 95860/95861 same day? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be billing the add on codes 95885 or 95886 for the EMG on the same day as the Nerve Conduction codes 95907-95913.
