What 95711 covers
This code covers a 2–12-hour EEG recording in which synchronized video helps correlate brain-wave activity with a patient’s behavior or physical events. EEG technologists or an EEG service typically arrange the recording in a hospital, outpatient, or ambulatory setting when clinicians are evaluating suspected seizures, epilepsy, or unexplained spells. The recording proceeds without real-time technologist surveillance; it is distinct from intermittent or continuous monitored recording.
The code represents the technical recording service, not the physician or qualified health care professional’s interpretation. For video EEG interpretation in the same 2–12-hour range, code 95718 is the related professional service. Medicare assigns 95711 physician fee schedule status C, or carrier priced: CMS publishes no national payment amount, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. Report the code for the applicable 2–12-hour recording period.
