CPT code 95713: Video EEG monitoring, continuous, 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 95713 covers

95713 represents continuous video EEG monitoring during a 2–12-hour recording period. EEG electrodes record brain activity while video captures the patient's behavior, allowing clinical teams to correlate events with EEG changes. EEG technologists or other staff providing the technical monitoring service report it when continuous monitoring is performed, rather than an unmonitored or intermittently monitored recording.

For Medicare physician fee schedule purposes, 95713 has status C: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. The code describes technical monitoring, not physician or qualified health care professional review and interpretation; 95718 describes the 2–12-hour video EEG review and interpretation service. Select the code by recording duration, presence of video, and whether monitoring is unmonitored, intermittent, or continuous. The 2–12-hour code represents the applicable duration band, not an hourly increment.
