CPT® Code 95920

Deleted

Intraoperative neurophysiology testing, as denoted by CPT® Code 95920, refers to the specialized monitoring of the nervous system's function during surgical procedures. This testing is crucial for assessing the integrity of neural pathways and ensuring that critical nerve functions are preserved throughout the operation. The procedure is performed in real-time, allowing for immediate feedback to the surgical team regarding the status of the patient's neurological function. This monitoring is particularly important in surgeries where there is a risk of nerve damage, as it helps guide the surgeon's actions and decisions. It is essential to note that this code is used to report the testing performed on an hourly basis and must be billed separately from the primary surgical procedure code. The use of this code indicates that the neurophysiology testing is an adjunctive service that enhances patient safety and surgical outcomes by providing vital information about the nervous system during the operation.
