The submitted medical record must support the selected ICD-10-CM code(s), the submitted CPT/HCPCS code must describe the service performed, and the record must clearly document medical necessity, the indication for ordering the test, and a clear diagnostic impression.

Key Coverage Criteria

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.
Urodynamic testing is covered when medical necessity is documented consistent with the related Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Urodynamics.
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.
