What 95708 covers

This service records brain electrical activity for 12–26 hours without video or monitoring during the recording. It can help evaluate suspected seizures, spells, or other intermittent neurologic symptoms when a routine EEG may not capture an event. EEG technologists and the clinicians or facilities arranging the recording are involved in the technical service. The recording may take place in an ambulatory or clinical setting, depending on the monitoring arrangement.

The code represents an unmonitored recording period without video; it does not describe physician or qualified health care professional interpretation. Professional EEG services are reported separately; 95719 describes an additional professional EEG service without video. Medicare assigns this code carrier-priced status: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

95708 billing questions

When should 95708 be selected instead of 95705?

Use 95708 for an unmonitored EEG recording without video lasting 12–26 hours. Code 95705 is for the shorter 2–12-hour recording period.

How does 95708 differ from 95709 and 95710?

All three describe 12–26-hour EEG recording without video. Code 95708 is unmonitored, 95709 is intermittently monitored, and 95710 is continuously monitored.

Does 95708 include video or physician interpretation?

No video is included, and the code does not represent physician or qualified health care professional interpretation. Professional EEG services are reported separately.

How are units determined?

The code describes each 12–26-hour unmonitored recording period without video, rather than an hourly unit.

How does Medicare price 95708?

It has carrier-priced status, so CMS publishes no national payment and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
