CPT Code 95913: Nerve Conduction Studies, 13 or More Studies

Yes. CPT code 95913 is used when 13 or more nerve conduction studies are performed. These may include a combination of motor conduction tests, sensory conduction tests, and F-wave tests across multiple sites or nerves such as the ulnar nerve, sciatic nerve, femoral nerve, or median nerve. Be sure to document each distinct study clearly to support medical necessity and compliance with billing and coding guidelines.

Yes, the 95913 CPT code can be billed on the same day as EMG codes like 95886, as long as the nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography (EMG) are medically necessary, performed separately, and fully documented.

Avoid double-counting the same nerve. For example, ipsilateral and contralateral stimulation of the ulnar nerve or sciatic nerve counts as separate studies only if the recording sites and conduction directions differ. Ensure that each nerve conduction study is clinically distinct and contributes to diagnosing issues like sensory neuropathy, spinal stenosis, or neuromuscular junction testing.
