Can Anesthesiologists who do a pain fellowship train for and bill EMGs ? Or is this only limited to PMR and neurology ?
The person I know who still does a lot of EMGs does a level 4 new patient with the EMG. So it works out ok and they actually do an evaluation and will make other treatment recommendations
Really?Yes, I hear Radiologists are also doing this with MRIs.
Nope. But just as dirty. Im pmr/pain and send my emg's out and expect little talk, bo consult, and no dx told to my patients. I will take the data and waveforms and out it in clinical context. Extension of the exam....but my exam.Really?

It's fraud to bill for EM code unless there is referral for consult/eval. NCS/EMG billing has a focused H&P "built in", so to bill over and beyond this requires a consult request.The person I know who still does a lot of EMGs does a level 4 new patient with the EMG.
