Neurology is one of the most complex and specialized areas of medicine, where providers handle intricate diagnoses, advanced procedures, and evolving technologies. Yet, behind every successful neurological evaluation lies another challenge — accurate and compliant medical billing.

At Kayal Health, we understand that neurologists should be focused on patients, not paperwork. This guide offers an overview of neurology billing essentials, commonly used codes, industry challenges, and how partnering with an expert billing service can enhance operational efficiency and maximize reimbursements.

Common CPT® and ICD-10-CM Codes in Neurology

Neurology billing requires precise use of CPT and ICD-10 codes to ensure proper claim submission and reimbursement. Below are frequently billed codes:

CPT® Codes

• 95851–95857 – Range of Motion Testing
• 95905–95913 – Nerve Conduction Studies
• 95812–95836 – Electroencephalogram (EEG) procedures
• 95860–95872 – Electromyography (EMG) studies
• 95925–95937 – Evoked Potentials and Reflex Testing
• 95970–95984 – Neurostimulator Analysis and Programming
• 95938–95941 – Intraoperative Neurophysiology Monitoring
• 96020 – Functional Brain Mapping

ICD-10-CM Codes

• G40 – Epilepsy
• G35 – Multiple Sclerosis
• G20 – Parkinson’s Disease
• G10 – Huntington’s Disease
• G61 – Inflammatory Polyneuropathy
• G00–G99 – Other Neurological Disorders

Challenges in Neurology Billing

Neurology billing demands deep clinical understanding and technical accuracy. Some of the most common challenges include:

1. Complex Diagnoses

Neurological conditions often present with overlapping symptoms and multiple differential diagnoses. Translating these findings into exact CPT and ICD-10 codes requires precision — even a minor documentation gap can lead to denials or underpayment.

2. Constantly Changing Coding Rules

Regulatory updates and payer-specific rules evolve continuously. Staying compliant requires ongoing monitoring and adjustment to ensure your practice avoids penalties and delays.

3. Extensive Documentation Requirements

Neurology billing depends heavily on detailed medical records. Missing or incomplete documentation of test results, interpretation, or decision-making can trigger audits or denials.

4. Multiple Procedures and Modifiers

Neurologists frequently perform bundled or concurrent procedures — such as EMG with nerve conduction studies — requiring careful use of modifiers to prevent claim rejections.

5. Rapid Technological Advances

Emerging technologies, such as new neurostimulator devices or diagnostic modalities, often lack established codes. This creates billing delays until appropriate coding standards are implemented.

Together, these challenges can slow cash flow, increase administrative burden, and affect a practice’s financial stability.
