BCBS only provides chiropractic coverage for Nerve Conduction Studies and EMGs, when performed by physicians who are Diplomates of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB). In order to bill BCBS for nerve conduction studies and EMG's your name must be included on the list of certified neurologists on the ACNB web site. If your name is not included on the ACNB web site, you cannot bill BCBS for these services. This includes out-of-state BCBS plans as well as in-state plans.
Please note: If you are not a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB) and if EMG's are performed to members whose healthcare plans process through BCBSNC, these services must be treated as non-covered services and require a signed waiver by the patient before such services are rendered. Please remember that all waivers for non-covered services must be maintained in the patient's healthcare record.
