Refer to LCD L34975 for the detailed reasonable and necessary clinical criteria and documentation required to support coverage of NEPs.
Use CPT codes 95925, 95926, 95927, 95928, 95929, 95938, and 95939 for Somatosensory Evoked Potentials/Responses (SEPs/SERs).
Use CPT codes 92651, 92652, and 92653 for Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials/Responses (BAEPs/BAERs).
Use CPT code 95930 for Visual Evoked Potentials/Responses (VEPs/VERs).

Neurophysiology Evoked Potentials (NEPs) — including Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SEPs), Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEPs/BAERs), and Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs/VERs) — are covered when determined to be reasonable and necessary in accordance with LCD L34975.
Nerve conduction studies (NCS) without needle EMG (NEMG) are allowed for individuals being evaluated for carpal tunnel syndrome or tarsal tunnel syndrome when one of the following ICD-10-CM codes is reported: G56.01, G56.02, G56.03, G56.11, G56.12, G56.13, G56.21, G56.22, G56.23, G57.51, G57.52, or G57.53.
NCS without NEMG is allowed for individuals with significant lymphedema in the affected extremity when ICD-10-CM code I89.0 is reported in addition to the primary diagnosis.
NCS without NEMG is allowed for individuals treated with anticoagulants when ICD-10-CM code Z79.01 or Z79.02 is reported in addition to the primary diagnosis.
Electrodiagnostic testing (EMG and/or nerve conduction studies) is indicated for evaluation of suspected carpal tunnel syndrome.
EMG and/or nerve conduction studies are indicated for evaluation of suspected radiculopathy.
