Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone knows if a primary surgeon can bill 95865 in addition to the surgery codes. I have notes that say you can't code some of the nerve studies but it skips over 95865 and I see that one alot. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks,
Teresa
 
Medicare requires that it be performed by a physician other than the operating surgeon, the technical/surgical assistant or the anesthesiologist rendering the anesthesia.

Yes we use this code a lot, however the isurance ussually do not like to pay as serperate procedure. It should be coded you just might have to fight for it with an appeal.
