95911 in Detail
CPT 95911 reports nerve conduction testing in the 9 to 10 study band. The entire series is selected by counting studies, so the counting rule is the code rule, and it is where most errors happen.
One study means one type of test on one anatomically distinct nerve. Stimulating the same nerve at several sites still counts once. Miscounting inflates the code and produces a denial that is difficult to defend on review. The higher count code is 95913 and the preconfigured array code is 95905. Counting is the whole task here, which is why it is worked inside neurology billing.
Using 95911 Correctly
Documentation Requirements
Ensure clinical notes clearly support the level of service, procedure performed, and medical necessity for this CPT code.
Modifier Requirements
Determine whether any modifiers are required for this code, particularly in bilateral, assistant surgeon, or multiple procedure scenarios.
Payer-Specific Rules
Check payer fee schedules and coverage policies, as reimbursement and coverage rules for this code vary by payer.
Bundling Considerations
Review NCCI edits to confirm this code is not bundled with other procedures billed on the same date of service.
95911 Reference
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| CPT Code | 95911 |
| Official Descriptor | Nerve conduction studies; 9-10 studies. |
| What It Covers | Nerve conduction testing where the total number of studies performed falls in the 9 to 10 range. |
| How a Study Is Counted | A single conduction study is a sensory conduction test, a motor conduction test with or without an F wave test, or an H-reflex test. Each type of study for each anatomically distinct and separately named nerve counts as one study. |
| Multiple Sites on One Nerve | Each type of study is counted only once when multiple sites on the same nerve are stimulated and recorded. Stimulating a nerve at several points does not multiply the count. |
| Code Family | The series runs from 95907 through 95913, banded by the number of studies performed, ending with 13 or more. |
| Common Denial Cause | Miscounting studies, most often by counting multiple stimulation sites on a single nerve as separate studies, which inflates the code selected. |
