My physicians are trying to bill 95940, an add-on code for continuous intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring along with 95829, Electrocorticogram. My understanding is that 95940 should NOT be billed along with 95829, as 95829 includes the monitoring. Am I correct? I can’t find any literature confirming my interpretation to be true or not. Can anyone help?

95940 Billing
We are looking at doing Neuromonitoring (95940) with a Neurophysiologist during surgeries. The Neurosurgeon would be doing the Laminectomy/Fusion while the Neurophysiologist does the Neuromonitoring in the OR. Both will be billing under the same Tax ID# but different NPIs. Is the 95940 reimbursable? Or does it depend on who the payer is? Any insight would truly be helpful.
