Summary
BCBS Mississippi updated their EMG policy with minor code reference changes, removing deleted CPT code 96003 and adding ICD-10 diagnosis code G90.89. The core coverage criteria for invasive and surface EMG remains unchanged - invasive EMG covered for physicians only, surface EMG generally not covered for chiropractors due to lack of medical necessity.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team should verify CPT code 96003 is no longer available in billing system as it has been deleted. Add new ICD-10 diagnosis code G90.89 to covered diagnosis list for EMG procedures. Continue existing practices for EMG coverage - ensure invasive EMG is only billed by physicians/neurologists, not chiropractors.
