Brain Surface Recording During Surgery

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 95829

This covers recording the brain's electrical activity directly from its surface during a surgical procedure, using electrodes placed on the exposed brain. It is most often used during epilepsy surgery to help the surgical team identify the area where seizures start or to confirm the boundaries of a planned removal. The recording is reviewed in real time to guide decisions made during the operation.
