About 95718: Physician video EEG interpretation, 2–12 hours
Reports a physician or qualified health care professional’s interpretation of 2–12 hours of EEG recording reviewed with synchronized video.
Code 95718 represents a physician’s or other qualified health care professional’s review and interpretation of 2–12 hours of EEG data with video, followed by an interpretive report. It is used in inpatient or outpatient monitoring to evaluate events such as suspected seizures, spells, or altered awareness when EEG findings are assessed alongside the video. EEG technologists or other qualified staff may handle recording and monitoring; this code represents the interpreting clinician’s service, not electrode setup or technical observation.
Select this code for a video EEG study in the 2–12-hour duration range. Use 95717 when the professional interpretation is for EEG without video, and the appropriate longer-duration code when the study extends beyond this range. Documentation should identify the recording duration, video availability, clinical question, relevant EEG and video findings, and the clinician’s interpretation. Technical monitoring services are distinct and may be reported when performed and supported, using the code that matches the recording and monitoring level. Code 95720 describes additional professional service time with video when the additional-interval criteria are met.
