Electroencephalography
About 95717: EEG interpretation without video, 2–12 hours
A physician or qualified health care professional interprets and reports 2–12 hours of EEG data when the study is performed without synchronized video.
A neurologist, epileptologist, or other qualified health care professional reviews and interprets 2–12 hours of EEG data recorded without synchronized video, then prepares a report. Common settings include hospital epilepsy evaluations and ambulatory monitoring for suspected seizures, unexplained spells, or other episodic neurologic symptoms. The interpretation may address background activity, epileptiform discharges, and electrographic events documented in the recording.
Select this code for the professional interpretation and report when the EEG duration falls within the 2–12-hour range and no video accompanies the study. The record should support the duration reviewed, the absence of video, and the clinician’s interpretation and conclusions. EEG acquisition and monitoring are represented separately; the corresponding technical service is selected according to whether the recording was unmonitored, intermittently monitored, or continuously monitored.
