Billing EMG and Limited NM Ultrasound, Medicare issue
When billing NCS/EMG and NMUS Limited study 76882, (performed on the same day), Medicare ( for Northeast region) is returning the bills as incomplete claim, as MODIFIERS were not used with 76882. They do not specify which Modifiers ( 59,? XU, ? RT...????) are missing.
Does anyone have any specific experience to advise which modifiers to use for Medicare when NCS/EMG is performed on the same day, (same limb) for example.
THANKS!

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.
