Portable Multi-Day Seizure Focus Recording

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 95953

This covers a portable, computerized brain-wave recording system with multiple channels, worn by the patient over a 24-hour period without a technologist actively monitoring in real time, to help locate the area of the brain where seizures are starting. The device records continuously while the patient goes about normal activities, and the data is reviewed afterward by a physician. This approach allows monitoring outside of a hospital setting.
