What 95710 covers
This service is continuous electroencephalographic recording without synchronized video for a 12-to-26-hour interval. Scalp electrodes capture brain electrical activity while the recording is continuously monitored. EEG technologists typically handle the technical recording in hospital or outpatient settings during prolonged evaluation of seizure activity or other changes in brain function. The code distinguishes continuous monitoring from intermittent monitoring and from recording without monitoring.
The code represents the technical recording and monitoring service, separate from a physician’s or qualified health care professional’s review and interpretation. Select it when the EEG has no video and the recording interval falls within 12 to 26 hours. Its physician fee schedule status is C, or carrier priced: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. Report the code for each applicable 12-to-26-hour interval; it is not an hourly unit.
