About 95830: Intracranial EEG electrode insertion
Reports surgical placement of electrodes for invasive EEG monitoring, such as when a neurosurgeon places intracranial electrodes to localize seizure activity.
CPT 95830 describes a surgical procedure to place electrodes for EEG monitoring, generally in a patient undergoing evaluation of difficult-to-localize seizures. A neurosurgeon typically performs the placement in an operating room, using an approach suited to the planned electrode locations. This is distinct from attaching scalp electrodes for a routine EEG recording; the service involves operative electrode placement for invasive monitoring.
Report the procedure when the surgeon places electrodes for EEG monitoring, rather than for the later recording or interpretation alone. The operative report should support the indication, the placement approach, the anatomical locations and types of electrodes, and the work performed. The EEG recording itself may be represented by a separate EEG service when performed and documented. The CMS facts supplied for this code list no code-specific payment rules.

How this local rate is calculated
Each RVU component is multiplied by its own geographic practice cost index (GPCI). The three adjusted components are added, then multiplied by the conversion factor. These are the inputs used for 95830 in Kansas.

95830 billing questions
Is 95830 for routine scalp EEG electrode setup?
No. It describes surgical electrode placement for invasive EEG monitoring, not routine attachment of scalp electrodes for a standard EEG recording.
How is 95830 different from stereotactic depth-electrode placement?
95830 reports electrode insertion for EEG monitoring. When the surgeon performs stereotactic implantation of depth electrodes for long-term seizure monitoring, compare the service with 61760.
Can an EEG recording code also be reported?
The placement and the EEG recording are distinct services. A recording code may be appropriate when a separate EEG study is performed and documented; the operative placement alone does not establish that service.
What documentation supports 95830?
The operative report should identify the clinical indication, electrode types and locations, placement approach, and the surgical work performed.
Is 95830 the same as intraoperative electrocorticography?
No. 95830 concerns electrode placement; 95829 describes an electrocorticogram performed during surgery.
