CPT code 95724: Video EEG interpretation, more than 60, under 84 hours2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $334.01 for 95724 nationally in the office and $271.88 in a hospital or facility. Local office rates run $309.89–$435.00.

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

What 95724 covers

Code 95724 represents physician or other qualified health care professional review and interpretation of a prolonged EEG recording accompanied by synchronized video, when the recording lasts more than 60 but less than 84 hours. A neurologist, often an epileptologist, reviews EEG activity alongside video to correlate electrical changes with observed behavior, such as suspected seizure events. This service is commonly used in inpatient or outpatient evaluation of recurrent or unexplained events and seizure monitoring.

Select this duration band from the total recording time and use the video-EEG branch rather than the corresponding no-video code. Documentation should support the recording duration, availability of video, professional review and interpretation, and a report describing relevant findings and clinical correlation. The physician or QHP interpretation is distinct from technical recording and technologist monitoring services, which have their own codes when performed.
