CPT 95910: Seven to Eight Nerve Conduction Studies, Motor and Sensory
CPT code 95910 denotes a set of seven or eight nerve conduction studies used to measure motor and sensory nerve function. Nerve conduction studies are critical diagnostic tools in neurology and physical medicine to identify neuropathies, focal entrapments, and other peripheral nerve disorders. Clinically, these studies guide diagnosis, treatment planning, and eligibility for interventions.
Key national payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find coverage and billing context for CPT code 95910, comparisons to adjacent nerve conduction study codes (such as 95909 and 95911), and the clinical scenarios in which a seven- to eight-study battery is typically reported. The publication summarizes coding scope, typical sites of service, and common clinical indications relevant to payers and providers.
This summary is intended for a national audience of billing professionals, clinicians, and policy analysts seeking a concise reference on the purpose and application of CPT code 95910. Data not available in the input is noted where applicable in supporting sections.

-
Service type: Electrodiagnostic nerve conduction studies (multiple-study peripheral nerve testing)
-
Typical site of service: Outpatient clinic, neurology or physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic, or hospital outpatient department where electrodiagnostic testing equipment and trained personnel are available.
