Neurology CPT Codes: EEG, EMG & Neurological Testing Referen...

Neurology is a diagnostic-heavy specialty where the majority of revenue comes from two sources: complex evaluation and management encounters and specialized neurological testing. Unlike surgical specialties where a single high-dollar procedure dominates revenue, neurology revenue is built on volume — 20-30 patient encounters per day, each generating $150-$400, supplemented by diagnostic studies (EEG, EMG/NCS, evoked potentials, sleep studies) that generate $200-$800 per study. The coding challenge in neurology is capturing both the E/M complexity and the diagnostic study revenue on every applicable encounter.

A typical neurology practice generates $800,000-$1.5 million per physician annually. The most common revenue leakage points are E/M undercoding (neurological encounters routinely involve high-complexity MDM that supports 99214-99215), failure to separately bill diagnostic test interpretation when performed on the same day as E/M, and incorrect allocation of professional vs. technical components on electrodiagnostic studies. Each of these errors is individually modest ($30-$150 per encounter) but compounds across thousands of annual patient contacts into six-figure revenue gaps.

This guide covers the complete CPT code landscape for neurology — EEG, EMG/NCS, evoked potentials, sleep studies, neuropsychological testing, intraoperative monitoring, botulinum toxin injection, infusion therapy, autonomic testing, transcranial magnetic stimulation, E/M coding, and the modifier logic governing neurological diagnostic billing.

E/M Coding in Neurology (99202-99215)

Neurology encounters are among the most complex in medicine from an MDM perspective. Neurologists routinely manage multiple chronic conditions simultaneously (epilepsy, migraine, neuropathy, movement disorders), order and independently interpret diagnostic studies, and prescribe medications with significant monitoring requirements and drug interaction risk.

CPT Code	MDM Level	Neurology MDM Example	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
99202	Straightforward	New patient, tension headache, no imaging, OTC recommendation	$68-$75
99203	Low	New patient, carpal tunnel symptoms, single NCS ordered, one medication started	$100-$115
99204	Moderate	New patient, seizure with abnormal EEG, brain MRI reviewed, anticonvulsant initiated with drug level monitoring	$150-$175
99205	High	New patient, multiple sclerosis workup, multiple imaging and CSF studies reviewed, biologic therapy initiated, complex risk assessment	$210-$240
99211	Minimal	Drug level check, nurse-only visit	$22-$28
99212	Straightforward	Established patient, stable migraine on triptan, no changes	$45-$55
99213	Low	Established patient, migraine with medication adjustment, one lab reviewed	$70-$85
99214	Moderate	Established patient, epilepsy on two anticonvulsants with breakthrough seizures, drug levels reviewed, dosage adjustment, side effect monitoring	$100-$120
99215	High	Established patient, Parkinson's disease with motor fluctuations, multiple medication changes, DBS programming reviewed, falls risk assessment, referral for PT	$145-$175

Neurology-specific E/M insight: Neurology practices commonly undercode because the neurological examination — which may take 20-30 minutes — does not directly influence MDM-based code selection under the 2021+ E/M guidelines. What drives the code level is the number and complexity of problems addressed, the data reviewed and ordered, and the risk of management. A neurologist who reviews an outside MRI, interprets an in-office EEG, manages two anticonvulsants, and counsels on driving restrictions has met high MDM — even if the physical exam is focused.

Prolonged services: Neurology encounters frequently exceed typical time thresholds. When total time (including pre-visit review of records, face-to-face time, and post-visit documentation) exceeds the threshold for the highest applicable E/M code, prolonged services add-on codes (99417 for office/outpatient) are billable. Document total time for every encounter.

EEG Codes (95816-95822, 95711-95720)

Routine EEG

CPT Code	Description	Global Reimbursement	Prof Component (26)	Tech Component (TC)
95816	EEG, including recording awake and asleep	$250-$350	$70-$100	$180-$250
95819	EEG, including recording awake and asleep with sleep deprivation	$280-$390	$80-$110	$200-$280
95822	EEG, recording in coma or sleep only	$200-$280	$55-$80	$145-$200
95827	EEG, all-night recording (ambulatory)	$300-$420	$85-$120	$215-$300

Continuous Video EEG Monitoring (VEEG)

The 2024+ VEEG monitoring codes (95711-95720) replaced the prior monitoring codes and are structured by the type of monitoring and duration.

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
95711	EEG, without video, 2-12 hours, continuous monitoring, unmonitored	$200-$280
95712	EEG, without video, 2-12 hours, continuous monitoring, with intermittent monitoring and maintenance	$250-$350
95713	EEG, without video, 2-12 hours, continuous monitoring, with continuous, real-time monitoring and maintenance	$350-$490
95714	EEG, without video, each additional 12-26 hours, continuous monitoring, unmonitored (add-on)	$180-$250
95715	EEG, without video, each additional 12-26 hours, continuous monitoring, with intermittent monitoring and maintenance (add-on)	$220-$310
95716	EEG, without video, each additional 12-26 hours, continuous monitoring, with continuous, real-time monitoring and maintenance (add-on)	$300-$420
95717	EEG, with video, 2-12 hours, continuous monitoring, unmonitored	$300-$420
95718	EEG, with video, 2-12 hours, continuous monitoring, with intermittent monitoring and maintenance	$380-$530
95719	EEG, with video, 2-12 hours, continuous monitoring, with continuous, real-time monitoring and maintenance	$500-$700
95720	EEG, with video, each additional 12-26 hours, continuous monitoring, with continuous, real-time monitoring and maintenance (add-on)	$420-$590
95957	Digital analysis of EEG (QEEG — quantitative EEG)	$80-$110

EEG coding rules:

Awake and asleep vs. awake only: 95816 requires both awake and asleep recording. If the patient does not fall asleep during the study, the recording is an awake-only EEG, which may be coded as 95816 only if sleep was attempted and the study includes both states. A recording with only awake data due to patient inability to sleep should be documented with the clinical circumstances.
VEEG monitoring levels: The three levels of monitoring (unmonitored, intermittent, continuous real-time) must match the actual monitoring provided. Billing for continuous real-time monitoring (95719) when only intermittent review occurred is a compliance violation.
Professional interpretation: EEG interpretation is separately billable when the interpreting neurologist does not perform the recording. Use modifier -26 for professional interpretation only.

EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies (95907-95913, 95860-95872)

Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)

NCS codes are reported based on the number of studies performed, not per nerve or per extremity.

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
95907	Nerve conduction studies; 1-2 studies	$100-$140
95908	Nerve conduction studies; 3-4 studies	$150-$210
95909	Nerve conduction studies; 5-6 studies	$200-$280
95910	Nerve conduction studies; 7-8 studies	$250-$350
95911	Nerve conduction studies; 9-10 studies	$300-$420
95912	Nerve conduction studies; 11-12 studies	$340-$480
95913	Nerve conduction studies; 13 or more studies	$380-$530

What counts as one NCS "study": Each nerve tested in each direction (motor or sensory) at each site counts as one study. For example:

Median motor study (wrist to APB) = 1 study
Median sensory study (wrist to digit) = 1 study
Ulnar motor study (wrist to ADM) = 1 study
Total for three nerves = 3 studies = 95908

Needle EMG

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
95860	Needle EMG; 1 extremity with or without related paraspinal areas	$130-$180
95861	Needle EMG; 2 extremities with or without related paraspinal areas	$180-$250
95863	Needle EMG; 3 extremities with or without related paraspinal areas	$230-$320
95864	Needle EMG; 4 extremities with or without related paraspinal areas	$280-$390
95867	Needle EMG; cranial nerve supplied muscle(s), unilateral	$80-$110
95868	Needle EMG; cranial nerve supplied muscle(s), bilateral	$120-$170
95869	Needle EMG; thoracic paraspinal muscles (excluding T1 or T12)	$60-$85
95870	Needle EMG; limited study of muscles in 1 extremity or non-limb (frontalis, masseter) muscles, not including paraspinal	$60-$85
95872	Needle EMG using single fiber electrode, with quantitative measurement of jitter	$200-$280

EMG/NCS coding rules:

NCS and EMG are separately billable. When both NCS and needle EMG are performed on the same patient on the same day (which is the standard practice), both are reported. NCS codes (95907-95913) + needle EMG codes (95860-95864) are billed together.
Study count documentation: For NCS, document each nerve, each segment, and each type of study (motor, sensory, F-wave, H-reflex). The total count determines the NCS code.
Medical necessity per study: Each nerve conduction study must be medically necessary. Performing a "standard panel" of 15 studies on every patient regardless of clinical indication triggers audit risk. Document the clinical rationale for each nerve tested.
Modifier -59 for separate encounters: If NCS and EMG are performed on the same limb, they are routinely billed together. If performed on different extremities or at different encounters, modifier -59 may be needed for some payer combinations.

Evoked Potentials (95925-95939)

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
95925	Short-latency somatosensory evoked potential study, stimulation of any/all peripheral nerves or skin sites, recording from the central nervous system; in upper limbs	$130-$180
95926	Short-latency somatosensory evoked potential study; in lower limbs	$130-$180
95927	Short-latency somatosensory evoked potential study; in the trunk or head	$130-$180
95928	Central motor evoked potential study (transcranial motor stimulation); upper limbs	$150-$210
95929	Central motor evoked potential study (transcranial motor stimulation); lower limbs	$150-$210
95930	Visual evoked potential (VEP) testing, including interpretation and report	$100-$140
95933	Orbicularis oculi (blink) reflex, by electrodiagnostic testing	$60-$85
95937	Neuromuscular junction testing (repetitive nerve stimulation)	$100-$140
95938	Short-latency somatosensory evoked potential study; in upper AND lower limbs	$200-$280
95939	Central motor evoked potential study; in upper AND lower limbs	$230-$320

Evoked potential coding tips:

VEP (95930) is commonly used in multiple sclerosis evaluation. It is billed as a complete service — do not split into professional and technical components unless different entities perform each component.
SSEP codes (95925-95927) are site-specific. If both upper and lower limb SSEPs are performed, use 95938 (combined) rather than billing 95925 + 95926 separately.
Repetitive nerve stimulation (95937) is used in myasthenia gravis evaluation. It is separately billable from routine NCS.

Sleep Studies (95800-95811)

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
95800	Sleep study, unattended, simultaneous recording of heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory analysis (Type IV home sleep test)	$100-$140
95801	Sleep study, unattended, simultaneous recording of heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory airflow, and respiratory effort (Type III home sleep test)	$200-$280
95805	Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) or maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT)	$350-$490
95806	Polysomnography (PSG); sleep staging with 1-3 additional parameters (Type III attended)	$500-$700
95807	Polysomnography (PSG); sleep staging with 4 or more additional parameters	$600-$840
95808	Polysomnography (PSG); any age, sleep staging with 1-3 additional parameters, with CPAP or BiPAP titration	$600-$840
95810	Polysomnography (PSG); any age, 6 or more hours of recording, sleep staging with 4 or more additional parameters, with or without CPAP or BiPAP	$700-$980
95811	Polysomnography (PSG); any age, 6 or more hours of recording, sleep staging with 4 or more additional parameters, with initiation of CPAP or BiPAP during recording	$750-$1,050

Sleep study coding rules:

Home sleep testing (HST) vs. in-lab PSG: HST (95800-95801) is lower-cost and appropriate for straightforward obstructive sleep apnea evaluation. In-lab PSG (95806-95811) is required for complex sleep disorders, pediatric patients, and patients with significant comorbidities.
MSLT: 95805 is billed in addition to the preceding night's PSG. The MSLT cannot be performed in isolation — it requires a preceding PSG to validate the night's sleep.
Split-night study: When the PSG converts to a CPAP titration during the same night (split-night protocol), bill only one PSG code (95811, which includes the titration component). Do not bill separate diagnostic and titration PSG codes for a split-night study.
Professional interpretation: When the neurologist interprets an outside sleep study, bill with modifier -26. The sleep lab or hospital bills the technical component (modifier -TC or the global code when both components are provided).

Neuropsychological Testing (96116-96121)

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
96116	Neurobehavioral status exam (clinical assessment of thinking, reasoning, and judgment, including neuropsychological test administration), first hour, face-to-face	$120-$170
96121	Neurobehavioral status exam, each additional hour (add-on)	$100-$140
96132	Neuropsychological testing evaluation services by physician or other qualified healthcare professional, including integration of patient data, interpretation of standardized test results, clinical decision making, treatment planning and report, first hour	$130-$180
96133	Neuropsychological testing evaluation services, each additional hour (add-on)	$110-$155
96136	Psychological or neuropsychological test administration and scoring by physician or other qualified healthcare professional, first 30 minutes	$50-$70
96137	Psychological or neuropsychological test administration and scoring, each additional 30 minutes (add-on)	$45-$65
96138	Psychological or neuropsychological test administration and scoring by technician, first 30 minutes	$30-$45
96139	Psychological or neuropsychological test administration and scoring by technician, each additional 30 minutes (add-on)	$25-$35

Neuropsychological testing coding structure:

Testing is split into three components: evaluation/interpretation (96132-96133), test administration by the qualified professional (96136-96137), and test administration by a technician (96138-96139).
All three components can be billed for the same patient on the same day when different activities are performed.
The evaluation/interpretation codes (96132-96133) cover the neuropsychologist's analysis, integration of results, clinical decision-making, and report writing — not test administration.
Document the specific tests administered, the time spent on each component, and the clinical findings.

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM)

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
95940	Continuous intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring in the operating room, one-on-one, each 15 minutes (add-on)	$80-$115 per unit
95941	Continuous intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring, from outside the operating room (remote), each 15 minutes (add-on)	$50-$70 per unit

IONM coding rules:

IONM codes are time-based add-on codes billed per 15-minute increment.
The base code for the monitored modalities (SSEP, EMG, MEP) is billed separately. IONM codes are for the ongoing monitoring service.
In-room monitoring (95940) reimburses higher than remote monitoring (95941) because the neurophysiologist is physically present.
The interpreting physician bills the baseline and interpretation of each modality using the appropriate baseline code. The monitoring technologist's employer bills 95940/95941 for the continuous monitoring.
Documentation must include the total monitoring time, the modalities monitored, and any intraoperative alerts communicated to the surgeon.

Botulinum Toxin Injection Codes

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
64612	Chemodenervation of muscle(s); muscle(s) innervated by facial nerve, unilateral (e.g., blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm)	$120-$170
64615	Chemodenervation of muscle(s); muscle(s) innervated by facial, trigeminal, cervical spinal and accessory nerves, bilateral (e.g., chronic migraine)	$200-$280
64616	Chemodenervation of muscle(s); neck muscle(s), excluding muscles of the larynx, unilateral (e.g., cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis)	$130-$180
64642	Chemodenervation of one extremity; 1-4 muscle(s)	$120-$170
64643	Chemodenervation of one extremity; each additional extremity, 1-4 muscle(s) (add-on)	$80-$110
64644	Chemodenervation of one extremity; 5 or more muscles	$180-$250
64645	Chemodenervation of one extremity; each additional extremity, 5 or more muscles (add-on)	$130-$180
64646	Chemodenervation of trunk muscle(s); 1-5 muscle(s)	$120-$170
64647	Chemodenervation of trunk muscle(s); 6 or more muscles	$170-$240

Botox coding tips:

Chronic migraine (64615): This code covers the OnabotulinumtoxinA injection protocol for chronic migraine — 31 injection sites across 7 muscle groups. It is billed bilaterally as a single code. Do not bill separate injection codes for each site.
Drug supply: Bill the toxin separately using J-codes: J0585 (OnabotulinumtoxinA/Botox, per unit), J0586 (AbobotulinumtoxinA/Dysport, per 5 units), J0587 (RimabotulinumtoxinB/Myobloc, per 100 units). The units billed must match the total units injected.
E/M with botulinum toxin injection: An E/M on the same day as injection requires modifier -25. A routine injection visit where the only service is the injection itself does not support a separate E/M.
EMG guidance: When EMG guidance is used for injection localization, bill 95874 (needle EMG guidance for chemodenervation) in addition to the injection code. This is separately billable but must be documented.

Infusion Therapy Codes

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
96365	Intravenous infusion, for therapy/prophylaxis/diagnosis; initial, up to 1 hour	$100-$140
96366	IV infusion, each additional hour (add-on)	$35-$50
96367	IV infusion, additional sequential infusion of new substance, up to 1 hour (add-on)	$50-$70
96368	IV infusion, concurrent infusion (add-on)	$30-$45
96413	Chemotherapy administration, intravenous infusion technique; up to 1 hour, single or initial substance/drug	$150-$210
96415	Chemotherapy administration, IV infusion, each additional hour (add-on)	$40-$55
96417	Chemotherapy administration, IV infusion, each additional sequential infusion (different substance), up to 1 hour (add-on)	$70-$100

Common neurology infusions:

Natalizumab (Tysabri) for MS: Infused over approximately 1 hour. Bill 96413 (chemotherapy infusion, initial hour). The drug is separately billed using J2323.
Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) for MS: Initial doses are split into two infusions; subsequent infusions are single-dose. Bill 96413 + 96415 for each additional hour. Drug supply: J2350.
IV immunoglobulin (IVIG): Used for CIDP, myasthenia gravis, and other neuroimmunological conditions. Infusion typically runs 2-6 hours. Bill 96365 (initial hour) + 96366 (each additional hour). Drug supply: J1459 (Gamunex-C) or other applicable J-code.
Dihydroergotamine (DHE) for refractory migraine: IV push over 3-5 minutes. Bill 96374 (IV push, single substance). Drug supply: J1110.

Autonomic Testing

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
95921	Testing of autonomic nervous system function; cardiovagal innervation (parasympathetic function), including 2 or more of: Valsalva maneuver, deep breathing, and 30:15 ratio	$130-$180
95922	Testing of autonomic nervous system function; adrenergic innervation (sympathetic function), including beat-to-beat blood pressure and R-R interval changes during Valsalva maneuver and at least 5 minutes of passive tilt	$150-$210
95923	Testing of autonomic nervous system function; sudomotor (e.g., quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test [QSART], silastic sweat imprint, thermoregulatory sweat test)	$130-$180
95924	Testing of autonomic nervous system function; adrenergic innervation AND cardiovagal innervation, with at least 5 minutes of passive tilt	$200-$280
95943	Simultaneous, independent, quantitative measures of both parasympathetic and sympathetic function, based on time-frequency analysis (e.g., with respiratory challenge)	$100-$140

Autonomic testing coding rules: When both cardiovagal (95921) and adrenergic (95922) testing are performed with passive tilt, bill the combined code 95924 instead of separate codes. The combined code reimburses less than the sum of the individual codes, so verify the payer's preference. Sudomotor testing (95923) is always separately billable from cardiovagal and adrenergic testing.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

CPT Code	Description	Typical Medicare Reimbursement
90867	Therapeutic repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), initial, including cortical mapping, motor threshold determination, delivery and management	$200-$280
90868	Therapeutic repetitive TMS; subsequent delivery and management, per session	$120-$170
90869	Therapeutic repetitive TMS; subsequent motor threshold re-determination with delivery and management	$170-$240

TMS coding rules:

90867 is for the initial treatment session, which includes the additional work of cortical mapping and motor threshold determination. It is billed once per treatment course.
90868 is for each subsequent treatment session. A typical course of TMS involves 20-30 sessions over 4-6 weeks.
90869 is used when motor threshold must be redetermined during the treatment course (e.g., due to medication changes or inadequate response).
E/M on the same day as TMS is separately billable with modifier -25 only when a separately identifiable E/M service is performed. Routine pre-TMS check-ins do not support a separate E/M.

Modifier Usage in Neurology

Modifier	Neurology Application
-26	Professional component. Used when the neurologist interprets a diagnostic study (EEG, EMG/NCS, sleep study, evoked potential) performed at another facility. The interpreting physician bills the professional interpretation; the facility bills the technical component.
-TC	Technical component. Used when the facility provides the equipment, technician, and supplies for a diagnostic study, but a separate physician interprets.
-95	Synchronous telemedicine service. Used for real-time, interactive telehealth encounters. Applicable to neurology E/M visits, certain follow-up consultations, and epilepsy monitoring interpretation performed remotely.
-59	Distinct procedural service. Used when multiple EMG studies are performed on different anatomical sites that would otherwise be bundled. Also used when NCS and EMG are performed for separate clinical indications on different days.
-XS	Separate structure. More specific than -59. Indicates the service was performed on a different anatomical structure.
-25	Separately identifiable E/M on the same day as a procedure. Common scenario: neurologist performs E/M encounter and EMG/NCS on the same day. The E/M is separately billable if it addresses clinical concerns beyond the decision to perform the electrodiagnostic study.
-76	Repeat procedure, same physician. Used when a diagnostic study is repeated (e.g., repeat EEG for breakthrough seizures).
-77	Repeat procedure, different physician. Used when a different neurologist repeats a study previously performed by another provider.
-52	Reduced services. Used when a planned study is partially completed (e.g., EMG terminated early due to patient intolerance).
-53	Discontinued procedure. Used when a procedure is stopped before completion for medical reasons (e.g., sleep study terminated due to patient emergency).

Common Neurology Coding Pitfalls

Pitfall 1: E/M Undercoding

The error: Billing 99213 for encounters involving review of multiple diagnostic studies (MRI, EEG, lab results), management of anticonvulsants or disease-modifying therapies with drug interaction risk, and assessment of patients with multiple neurological diagnoses. These encounters routinely support 99214 (moderate MDM) or 99215 (high MDM).

The fix: Document the independent interpretation of external diagnostic studies, the complexity of prescription drug management (particularly anticonvulsants, anticoagulants, and immunosuppressants), and the risk associated with treatment decisions. Neurology E/M encounters should cluster at 99214-99215, not 99213.

Pitfall 2: Missing EMG/NCS on E/M Days

The error: A neurologist performs an E/M encounter and an EMG/NCS on the same day but bills only the EMG/NCS, leaving the E/M revenue uncaptured. Or vice versa — billing only the E/M and not the diagnostic study.

The fix: When both are performed and the E/M addresses concerns beyond the electrodiagnostic study indication, bill both: the E/M with modifier -25 and the EMG/NCS codes without modifiers. Document the separate E/M service.

Pitfall 3: Incorrect NCS Study Count

The error: Performing 7 nerve conduction studies but billing 95908 (3-4 studies) instead of 95910 (7-8 studies). Or performing 5 studies but billing 95911 (9-10 studies) without documentation to support the count.

The fix: Count each nerve, each segment, and each study type documented. Motor study, sensory study, F-wave, and H-reflex each count as separate studies. Document the full study list with specific nerves and sites.

Pitfall 4: Billing Professional Interpretation Without Modifier -26

The error: Billing the global EEG code when the neurologist only interpreted a study recorded at an outside facility. This results in overbilling (including the technical component the neurologist did not provide) and potential fraud allegations.

The fix: When interpreting studies recorded by another entity, always use modifier -26 (professional component only). Bill the global code only when the neurologist's practice provided both the recording and the interpretation.

Pitfall 5: VEEG Level Mismatches

The error: Billing for continuous real-time monitoring (95719/95720) when the actual monitoring provided was intermittent review. Or billing for video EEG when the study was performed without video.

The fix: Match the VEEG code to the actual monitoring level and video capability used. Documentation must specify whether video was recorded, whether monitoring was continuous or intermittent, and the total monitoring duration.

How QuickIntell Automates Neurology Coding

QuickIntell's QuickCode engine addresses the diagnostic-heavy complexity of neurology coding:

NCS study counting: Automatically tabulates nerve conduction studies from the procedure report and selects the correct NCS code (95907-95913), eliminating undercounting and overcounting errors.
EMG + E/M same-day logic: Detects when EMG/NCS and E/M are performed on the same day, verifies that the E/M documentation supports a separately identifiable service, and applies modifier -25 correctly.
EEG level selection: Matches documented monitoring parameters (video, duration, monitoring level) to the correct VEEG code, preventing level mismatches and ensuring compliance.
TC/26 component logic: Identifies whether the practice performed the technical component, the professional interpretation, or both, and applies the correct modifiers or global billing accordingly.
E/M optimization: Evaluates the MDM complexity of neurology encounters — diagnostic data review, prescription drug management, and treatment risk — and recommends the highest supportable E/M level.

For neurology practices generating $1-$2 million per provider annually, QuickIntell's coding automation recovers 3-6% in previously lost revenue while reducing coding-related denials by 30-50%.
