What 95716 covers

Code 95716 represents the technical service of recording EEG activity with video while the study is continuously monitored. Neurology practices, hospitals, and EEG laboratories use this service to capture and assess suspected seizures or other episodic neurologic events over an extended recording period. The video helps clinicians compare observed behavior with the corresponding brain-wave activity.

The service is selected when the recording lasts 12–26 hours and receives continuous monitoring; shorter recordings and unmonitored or intermittently monitored studies have distinct codes. Report one service for the applicable recording period. Physician or other qualified health care professional review and interpretation are reported separately when performed, using the code appropriate to the recording duration and video use. For Medicare, 95716 has Physician Fee Schedule status C, carrier priced: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
