What 95941 covers
Code 95941 identifies continuous intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring performed from outside the operating room, either remotely or from another location in the facility. A physician or other qualified monitoring professional follows neural signals during surgery and communicates meaningful changes to the operating team. The service may involve monitoring more than one patient or be reported on an hourly basis, as reflected in the code’s time and patient structure. It is distinct from monitoring performed by a professional physically in the operating room, which is represented by 95940.
Medicare assigns 95941 status I, meaning it is not valid for Medicare reporting; Medicare uses G0453 to report and pay for this remote intraoperative monitoring service. Submit G0453 rather than 95941 for Medicare claims. Related intraoperative evoked-potential codes, such as 95938 and 95939, identify testing modalities that may be monitored during surgery; they do not change 95941’s Medicare status.
