For services requiring a referring/ordering physician, the name and NPI of the referring/ordering physician must be reported on the claim.
Medical records maintained by the performing provider must clearly support medical necessity and include test reports and the interpreting provider's interpretation.
Supporting documentation should include relevant medical history, physical examination, and results of pertinent diagnostic tests or procedures used to rule out more common causes of autonomic signs or symptoms.
For diagnostic tests report the test result if known; if results are not available, report the symptoms that prompted performance of the test.

Autonomic function testing is covered to confirm or exclude a specific autonomic nervous system disorder when medically necessary.
Repeat autonomic testing for patients with a diagnosed autonomic disorder is covered when there is a documented change in clinical status or a response to a therapeutic intervention.

Peripheral nerve block services that are separate, medically necessary services which cannot be rendered by the surgeon may be reported if the surgeon documents the reason for referral and the additional services are justified in the medical record.
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.
