I'm hoping someone that codes Neurology can clear something up for me.
When a physician does the testing and interpretation for an EMG, do you append a -26 modifier. The question sounds easy enough but in the CPT Guidelines for Neurology, it states EMG, NCV and MEG services include recording, interpretation by a physician and report. For interpretation only, use modifier 26. I just want to be sure I'm interpretting this correctly. I would appreciate anyone's advise or comments!! Thank you.
