What 95813 covers

This service covers an extended scalp electroencephalogram recording, with cerebral electrical activity acquired for 61 through 119 minutes. It may be used when a clinician needs a longer diagnostic sample, such as when evaluating suspected seizures, spells of altered awareness, or abnormal mental status. An EEG technologist typically applies the electrodes and acquires the tracing in an outpatient EEG laboratory or hospital; a qualified physician reviews and interprets it.

Select the code from the actual EEG recording duration, not the appointment length or interpretation time. A 41–60-minute recording falls under 95812; other EEG codes may be selected based on the recorded sleep or wake state or clinical circumstance. Documentation should identify the indication, recording duration, technical circumstances, and physician interpretation. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or no component modifier for the global service.

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.
