About 95719: Physician EEG review, additional no-video time
Reports physician or qualified health care professional review and interpretation of an EEG without video for each additional 12-hour increment.
This code covers a physician’s or other qualified health care professional’s review and interpretation of prolonged EEG recording without video. It is used for services such as neurologist or epileptologist interpretation of extended EEG monitoring for seizure evaluation, including recordings obtained in a hospital or outpatient setting. The service is the clinician’s analysis of the EEG data and resulting interpretation, not electrode application or the technical recording itself.
Report 95719 for each additional 12-hour increment following the initial no-video EEG service represented by 95717. The record should support the monitoring duration, the clinician’s review and interpretation, and a report addressing the EEG findings. For recordings that include video, use the corresponding video service instead; longer recording periods may fall under duration-specific codes such as 95721. CMS rules supplied for this code do not specify additional payment or component instructions.

95719 billing questions
When is 95719 reported instead of 95717?
95717 represents the initial no-video physician or qualified health care professional EEG service. Report 95719 for each additional 12-hour increment of that service.
What is the difference between 95719 and 95720?
Both describe additional 12-hour increments of professional EEG service. Use 95719 for recordings without video and 95720 when the professional service includes video EEG.
Does 95719 cover the EEG recording equipment or setup?
No. It represents clinician review and interpretation of the EEG data; electrode application and technical recording are separate service functions.
How should units be supported?
Document the EEG monitoring duration and the physician’s or qualified health care professional’s review and interpretation. Report the code for each additional 12-hour increment supported by the service.
When should a longer-duration code be considered?
For a prolonged no-video study extending beyond the incremental service pattern, compare the total recording duration with the duration-specific professional codes, including 95721.
Where these rates come from
