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

What 95720 covers

CPT 95720 represents the professional review and interpretation of prolonged EEG recorded with video, followed by a report. A neurologist or epileptologist may interpret the study in an epilepsy monitoring unit, hospital, or other setting where video EEG is used to evaluate suspected seizures, unexplained episodes of altered awareness, or possible nonconvulsive seizures. The video helps correlate observed behavior with electrical activity during the recording.

Select this code for the applicable professional-service increment when video accompanies the EEG; document the recording duration, video availability, interpretation, and resulting report. Code 95718 describes the shorter professional service, while 95719 is the corresponding increment without video. The technical recording and monitoring work is represented by separate video EEG technical codes, selected according to the monitoring performed. The record should support that the physician or qualified health care professional reviewed and interpreted the study, rather than merely documenting that a recording was obtained.
