downloads.cms.gov1. If a nerve conduction study with F-wave study is performed on a single motor nerve, report the service as 95903. If nerve conduction studies are performed on two different nerves, the first with F-wave study and the second nerve without F-wave study, the first nerve should be reported as 95903 and the second 95900.

Diabetic Neuropathies: The Nerve Damage of Diabetes
www.mirecc.va.govNerve conduction studies or electromyography are sometimes used to help determine the type and extent of nerve damage. Nerve conduction studies check the transmission of electrical current through a nerve. Electromyography shows how well muscles respond to electrical signals transmitted by nearby nerves.
Attention: New NCS code changes how units are reported.
www.advancencs.com95905 for Nerve Conduction Studies Attention: New NCS code changes how units are reported. If you’ve been hesitant on how to report pre-configured nerve conduction studies (NCS), clarity has arrived. CPT 2010 debuted a new code effective Jan. 1, 2010 that allows you to accurately report this once hard-to-code nerve conduction test.
