New Medicare denial criteria
Recently made aware of denial of payment due to CMS only covering 1 limb EMG/NCS charges per year. Interstingly had a request for another limb 4 mo after 1st in different calendar year, they still denied despite appeal. so you may do 2-4 limbs at a sitting but not sequentially or serially by this criteria. anyone else noticing this trend? our advocates for CMS need further education if possible gievn current environment.

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
