Wiki Nerve Testing

[codelady]

the doctor does nerve testing: 95900,95903 and 95904. 95900 was denied stating this procedure/service is not paid separately.

I just want to confirm my answer. In the CPT book under

95900 nerve conduction, amplitude and latency/velocity study, each nerve; motor, without F-wave study

95903 motor, with F-wave study

If you do the nerve test with and without F-wave study, you would only use 95903.

Is this correct? Thanks for any help.

[codelady]

If your doing the nerve test with and without on the same nerve you can only 95903.

why do you use units?

as i read the cpt book you only bill 95904 regardless of the number of sites tested.
