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?

DBS with Neurophysiology code
Hi All,
Does anyone use Neurophysiology code 95961/95962 along with 61867/61868. Please confirm.
Procedure performed :
Application of starFix frame
Computer guided stereotactic anatomical brain mapping using Medtronic stealth system
Bilateral stereotactic VIM thalamus deep brain stimulator leads model 3389 from Medtronic implanation
Intraoperative physiological mapping using single cell microelectrode recording and micro stimulation.
For this i have used 61867-50 and not sure if i can use 95961-26.
Let me know your thoughts on this.
Regards,
Shruthi.
