CPT code 95722: EEG interpretation, 36 to under 60 hours, with video2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $263.53 for 95722 nationally in the office and $214.10 in a hospital or facility. Local office rates run $244.14–$342.43.

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

What 95722 covers

This professional service covers review and interpretation of a prolonged EEG recording with synchronized video, followed by a report. A neurologist or other qualified health care professional may use it for seizure evaluation, unexplained spells, or other events where comparing behavior with brain-wave activity helps clarify what occurred. Studies may be performed in an epilepsy monitoring unit or through an ambulatory recording arrangement.

Select 95722 when the qualifying recording includes video and its duration is more than 36 but less than 60 hours. The report should support the recording duration and describe the relevant EEG and video findings. This code represents the physician or qualified health care professional’s interpretive work; technical recording and monitoring services are represented by separate codes when reportable. Choose a different code when the duration or presence of video falls into another code’s category.
