What 95718 covers

Code 95718 represents a physician’s or other qualified health care professional’s review and interpretation of 2–12 hours of EEG data with video, followed by an interpretive report. It is used in inpatient or outpatient monitoring to evaluate events such as suspected seizures, spells, or altered awareness when EEG findings are assessed alongside the video. EEG technologists or other qualified staff may handle recording and monitoring; this code represents the interpreting clinician’s service, not electrode setup or technical observation.

Select this code for a video EEG study in the 2–12-hour duration range. Use 95717 when the professional interpretation is for EEG without video, and the appropriate longer-duration code when the study extends beyond this range. Documentation should identify the recording duration, video availability, clinical question, relevant EEG and video findings, and the clinician’s interpretation. Technical monitoring services are distinct and may be reported when performed and supported, using the code that matches the recording and monitoring level. Code 95720 describes additional professional service time with video when the additional-interval criteria are met.

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.

95718 billing questions

How does 95718 differ from 95717?

Both describe professional EEG review and interpretation for 2–12 hours. Report 95718 when the reviewed study includes video; 95717 is for a study without video.

Can the technical monitoring service also be reported?

The professional interpretation is distinct from the technical recording and monitoring service. When both services are performed and documented, select the technical code that reflects the study duration and monitoring level.

Which technical codes correspond to a 2–12-hour video EEG?

Codes 95711, 95712, and 95713 describe 2–12-hour video EEG technical services at different monitoring levels. Choose the one that matches the service performed.

What code applies when video EEG extends beyond 12 hours?

Use the applicable longer-duration professional code for the study. Code 95720 describes additional professional service time with video when its interval criteria are met.

What documentation supports 95718?

Document the study duration, that video accompanied the EEG, the clinical indication, the findings reviewed, and the physician’s or qualified health care professional’s interpretation and report.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
