CPT code 95712: Video EEG, intermittent, 2-12 hours2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 95712 covers

Code 95712 identifies a video EEG recording service lasting 2-12 hours with intermittent monitoring. Video is recorded alongside EEG activity so a clinical event and the brain-wave tracing can be assessed together. The code is part of the long-term EEG service family, which distinguishes recordings by video use, duration, and whether monitoring is unmonitored, intermittent, or continuous. The physician or qualified health care professional’s review and interpretation are represented separately by 95718 for video EEG in this duration range.

For Medicare, 95712 has physician fee schedule status C, or carrier priced. CMS publishes no national payment amount; the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. Report it when the recording falls in the 2-12-hour range and monitoring is intermittent. Select a different code in the family when the recording is unmonitored or continuously monitored, or falls in another duration range. Code 95706 is the corresponding intermittent-monitoring option without video.
