Video EEG Monitoring Block, Watched Continuously

Montana rates for HCPCS 95716

Brain-wave activity is recorded through scalp sensors with video running alongside it, and staff watch the tracing live throughout, so an event can be spotted and responded to as it happens. This covers one block of that monitoring, in the range of 12 to 26 hours. The technologist keeps the recording running and writes up a technical account of what the tracing showed; the doctor's reading and written findings are billed separately.
