Physical Therapists performing electrodiagnostic studies
Have any of you encountered physical therapists doing nerve conduction studies and EMG?
One of my neurosurgeon colleagues said PT's are reaching out to him to get his NCS/EMG business. I asked him if they were getting reimbursed for their studies and he said yes. I don't understand how they are allowed to perform these without the training neuromuscular neurologists and physiatrists have.

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.
