I'm a little confused by the wording of the new codes 95907-95913...i'm reading it as all tests on one nerve are considered one test now. Our doc seems to think that all tests are counted individually even if on same nerve...

"In her case I did 6 different studies, using 3 different nerves"

I would code that as 95908 (3-4 since there are only 3 nerves tested), he says 95909 (5-6 since there were 6 studies done)

Any advice? :confused:
 
Well just to be clear and make sure, you wouldn't use those codes until after the first of the year, so as of right now, 95900-95904 should still be used. If you're simply asking a theoretical question however, I agree with you. I just read the guidelines and from what I see you would count them the same as you would the old code, PER NERVE. Hope that helps. :)
