What to Expect During Your Visit
A Patient-Centered Diagnostic Experience
At Physio Electrodiagnostics, we strive to make electrodiagnostic testing informative, efficient, and comfortable.
- 1
Clinical History & Focused Examination
Your appointment begins with a review of your symptoms, medical history, and relevant clinical findings.
- 2
Nerve Conduction Studies
Small electrical impulses are applied to selected peripheral nerves to evaluate nerve conduction responses.
- 3
Needle EMG
A fine needle electrode is inserted into selected muscles to evaluate electrical activity at rest and during voluntary contraction.
- 4
Diagnostic Interpretation
Your results are analyzed in conjunction with your clinical presentation to develop an electrodiagnostic impression.
- 5
Communication With Your Referring Provider
A detailed report is prepared and made available to your referring healthcare provider to assist with ongoing clinical management.
Comfortable, unhurried testing. Small surface electrodes like these record how well your nerves carry signals — most patients describe the sensation as a brief tapping or tingling.
Insurance & Referral Information
Helping Patients Navigate Electrodiagnostic Testing
Physio Electrodiagnostics works with patients and referring providers to clarify applicable insurance and referral requirements before testing.
Not all insurance plans recognize the same referral pathways or reimburse electrodiagnostic services performed by the same provider types.
Our practice will review available insurance information and applicable administrative requirements before scheduling whenever possible.
Verification of benefits or authorization does not guarantee claim payment.
Self-pay arrangements may also be available for patients who do not have applicable insurance coverage or prefer to pay directly.
Coverage for EMG/NCS depends on
- The patient's specific insurance plan and benefits
- Medical necessity and covered indications
- Provider participation and network status
- Referral or ordering-provider requirements
- Prior authorization requirements, when applicable
