I have a question. Normally when we do Nerve Conduction Studies, we also bill EMG as well. Sometimes, an EMG is not done due to patient refuses or unable to do. In a couple of cases I have billed just the nerve conduction study. It has been denied by Medicare and a couple of insurance companies as well.
I am billing 95909 x 1 POS 11
dx R20.1 and M79.642
denial reason for this one is CO-50 - non covered services because this is not deemed medical necessity by the payer.
Says it is based on LCD. Both of these Dx codes are covered.
What am I missing? I am sure it is something simple. I appreciate any help on this I can get.
Thanks!!
