What 95955 covers

This service records and interprets cerebral electrical activity during an operation. A classic setting is carotid endarterectomy, where EEG changes can help identify possible cerebral ischemia during carotid clamping. Scalp electrodes capture the tracing while the patient is under anesthesia; a neurologist or other qualified physician interprets the recording, with technical staff supporting electrode placement and recording in the operating room.

Report 95955 for the intraoperative EEG service, not for motor or sensory evoked-potential monitoring alone. The operative and EEG documentation should identify the procedure, monitoring period, recording and interpretation, and clinically relevant findings. CMS recognizes separately priced professional and technical components: use modifier 26 for interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or neither modifier when billing the global service. CMS lists no add-on status, global period, or multiple-procedure reduction for this code.

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.
