EEG, Awake And Drowsy Recording

Utah rates for HCPCS 95816

This test records the brain's electrical activity using electrodes placed on the scalp, capturing brain wave patterns while the patient is both awake and drowsy or lightly asleep. Comparing brain activity across these different states can help detect abnormalities, such as those linked to seizures, that may not appear during wakefulness alone. It's a standard-length recording rather than an extended or overnight monitoring session.
