CPT code 95723: EEG interpretation, more than 60, under 84 hours2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in California

Medicare pays $270.66–$317.89 for 95723 in the office in California, from Chico, CA to San Benito County, CA. Which amount applies depends on the service address.

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

What 95723 covers

This service covers physician or qualified health care professional monitoring, review, and interpretation of a prolonged EEG recording without synchronized video. Neurologists and epileptologists commonly interpret these studies when evaluating suspected seizures, unexplained altered mental status, or recurrent spells that require extended electrical brain monitoring. The absence of video means the interpreting professional assesses the EEG signal without corresponding recorded images of the patient's behavior.

Select the code based on the total EEG duration and whether video accompanies the recording: this level is for more than 60 but less than 84 hours without video. The report should support the service with the recording duration, the no-video format, and the physician's or qualified professional's interpretation and findings. EEG recording and technologist services are represented by separate recording codes when applicable; 95723 describes the physician/QHP service rather than the recording service alone.
