CPT code 95715: Video EEG monitoring, intermittent, 12–26 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 95715 covers

This service pairs long-term EEG recording with video and technologist monitoring at intervals rather than continuously. EEG staff in a hospital or epilepsy monitoring unit may use it to correlate electrical activity with a patient's behavior during evaluation of suspected seizures, unexplained spells, or other episodic symptoms. The video helps clinicians assess whether observed movements or behavior correspond to EEG changes.

Select this service for a 12–26-hour recording with video and intermittent monitoring; unmonitored and continuously monitored services have separate codes. Physician or qualified health care professional review and interpretation are represented by separate EEG codes when performed. Medicare assigns this CPT Category I service physician fee schedule status C, or carrier priced: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim.
