Article Guidance

Article Text

The information in this article contains billing, coding or other guidelines that complement the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Special Electroencephalography L33447.

Ambulatory electroencephalography (EEG) should always be preceded by a routine EEG. A routine EEG is described by Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes 95812, 95813, 95816, 95819 or 95822 and refers to a routine EEG recording of less than a 24-hour continuous duration.

A routine “resting” (EEG) (as described by CPT® codes 95812, 95813, 95816, 95819 or 95822) must be performed prior to performing an ambulatory continuous EEG. A claim for the routine EEG must have been submitted to Medicare with a date of service (DOS) within 1 year of the DOS of the ambulatory EEG.

The CPT® codes contained in this article are the codes that describe the services covered per the LCD language. Claims billed with EEG services represented by CPT® codes not contained in this article require the submission of documentation and will be reviewed on a claim-by-claim basis. Note that the codes for these services now have separate coding for the professional and the technical components. Providers should bill only the component of the service which they have provided.
