Continuous Video and Brain Wave Monitoring

Montana rates for HCPCS 95718

Sensors are placed on the scalp to continuously record brain electrical activity along with synchronized video over an extended period, usually in a hospital or specialized monitoring unit. This combination helps capture and correlate physical symptoms, such as seizure movements, with the corresponding brain wave changes at the same moment. It's used to help diagnose and characterize seizures or other episodes that are hard to catch with a shorter test.
