Checkpoint: Basic NCS Physiology

Description

Explain the basic pathophysiology of axon loss, demyelination, and conduction block; identify the corresponding nerve conduction patterns for axonal and demyelinating processes; recognize the most common anomalous innervations in the upper and lower limbs; and describe the nerve conduction techniques used to confirm the presence of an anomalous innervation. This course was recorded at the 2022 AANEM Annual Meeting.

The AANEM designates this enduring material for a maximum of 3 CEUs as well as 1 Checkpoint credit for CNCT maintence of certification.

Podcast: Fraud and Abuse

7/15/2024- Carrie Ford, CNCT, RNSCT, REPT (Emeritus) interviews Peter Grant MD for a podcast on electrodiagnostic (EDX) fraud and abuse. Peter is a fraud and abuse expert for the FBI, Office of Inspector General, US Attorney's Office, private insurers, and state medical boards. In this podcast, Peter explains EDX fraud and how it adversely affects PM&R and Neurology, which includes hand-held devices, billing unnecessary repeat studies, billing unnecessary multiple nerves with EMG, and mobile diagnostic labs. - 23 min.
