NCV / EMG (2-Day Training) - LiveStream / Online Training

This two-day hands-on workshop offers a combination of didactic learning and practical sessions. Attendees will gain the necessary skills to perform EMG and NCV studies, evaluate patients with peripheral neuropathy, and increase practice revenue through reimbursable services.

During the NCV / EMG Training, participants will:

• Learn how to evaluate and work up the patient with peripheral neuropathy, complications of diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain, neck and arm pain, sciatica, burning feet, brachial plexus injuries, spinal stenosis, thoracic outlet syndrome, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and the various complications of peripheral nerve injury.
• Employ basic and advanced techniques in the nerve conduction examination.
• Use the methods discussed in the course and equipment in the nerve conduction examination.
• Observe and practice these nerve conduction techniques on live patients.
• Be critiqued on individual examination and reporting techniques.
• Identify waveforms associated with nerve conduction findings.
• Understand the indications, limitations, and added value these studies bring to your primary care practice.
• Review the use of the computer analysis with the EMG instrumentation.
• Submit claims for each procedure to the carriers following specific guidelines and protocols.
• Employ methods to ensure the appropriate and consistent reimbursement for each high-paying procedure.
• Properly code each procedure adhering to strict medical necessity and patient selection criteria.
• Utilize specific methods for compliance to help ensure correct procedures and help prevent over-utilization of services.
• Expand current practice to include the subspecialty services of nerve conduction studies.
• Attract new and existing patients using proven business and marketing methods.

• Physicians interested in integrating nerve conduction studies into their practice.
• Healthcare providers seeking to add reimbursable services.
• Medical professionals looking for comprehensive hands-on training.

This course is designed for licensed healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. No prior experience with EMG or NCV is required, but basic knowledge of anatomy is recommended.

The conference that is to be held at the hotel in Chicago, features a 2-day complete learning experience. Each day features a didactic lecture section and a hands-on training session where attendees will be able to perform under the guidance of our faculty staff.
