The CPT® Code 95714 refers to an electroencephalogram (EEG) with video (VEEG) that involves a review of data and a technical description provided by an EEG technologist. This procedure is specifically designed for long-term continuous recording of brain wave activity, which is conducted over a period of 12 to 26 hours without direct monitoring of the patient. The primary purpose of this extended EEG service is to capture and analyze brain activity, particularly during seizure events, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the patient's neurological condition. The video component enables the physician to correlate the observed brain wave patterns with the patient's physical manifestations during seizures, enhancing diagnostic accuracy. The procedure includes several critical steps, such as the EEG technician's responsibility for uploading the data generated by the EEG equipment, reviewing the raw data, annotating significant events, and archiving the reviewed data for further evaluation by the physician or other qualified personnel. Additionally, a written report is generated to document the technician's review of the data, including any technical interventions that may have been necessary during the recording process. This code is applicable for unmonitored technician services, distinguishing it from other codes that involve varying levels of monitoring and oversight during the EEG recording. Overall, CPT® Code 95714 is essential for diagnosing seizure disorders, monitoring treatment efficacy, and evaluating potential surgical interventions for epilepsy.

The procedure associated with CPT® Code 95714 is indicated for several specific clinical scenarios, including:
The procedure for CPT® Code 95714 involves several key steps that ensure comprehensive data collection and analysis:
After the completion of the EEG procedure associated with CPT® Code 95714, the patient may be provided with specific post-procedure care instructions. While the patient is not monitored during the recording, it is important for them to follow up with their physician to discuss the results of the EEG and any necessary next steps. The physician will review the archived data and the written report to interpret the findings and determine the appropriate course of action based on the patient's condition. Additionally, patients may be advised to avoid certain activities or medications that could interfere with the interpretation of the EEG results until they have had a chance to consult with their healthcare provider.

| 59 | Distinct procedural service: under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to indicate that a procedure or service was distinct or independent from other non-e/m services performed on the same day. modifier 59 is used to identify procedures/services, other than e/m services, that are not normally reported together, but are appropriate under the circumstances. documentation must support a different session, different procedure or surgery, different site or organ system, separate incision/excision, separate lesion, or separate injury (or area of injury in extensive injuries) not ordinarily encountered or performed on the same day by the same individual. however, when another already established modifier is appropriate it should be used rather than modifier 59. only if no more descriptive modifier is available, and the use of modifier 59 best explains the circumstances, should modifier 59 be used. note: modifier 59 should not be appended to an e/m service. to report a separate and distinct e/m service with a non-e/m service performed on the same date, see modifier 25. | GZ | Item or service expected to be denied as not reasonable and necessary | 76 | Repeat procedure or service by same physician or other qualified health care professional: it may be necessary to indicate that a procedure or service was repeated by the same physician or other qualified health care professional subsequent to the original procedure or service. this circumstance may be reported by adding modifier 76 to the repeated procedure or service. note: this modifier should not be appended to an e/m service. | GC | This service has been performed in part by a resident under the direction of a teaching physician | 52 | Reduced services: under certain circumstances a service or procedure is partially reduced or eliminated at the discretion of the physician or other qualified health care professional. under these circumstances the service provided can be identified by its usual procedure number and the addition of modifier 52, signifying that the service is reduced. this provides a means of reporting reduced services without disturbing the identification of the basic service. note: for hospital outpatient reporting of a previously scheduled procedure/service that is partially reduced or cancelled as a result of extenuating circumstances or those that threaten the well-being of the patient prior to or after administration of anesthesia, see modifiers 73 and 74 (see modifiers approved for asc hospital outpatient use). | GV | Attending physician not employed or paid under arrangement by the patient's hospice provider | TC | Technical component; under certain circumstances, a charge may be made for the technical component alone; under those circumstances the technical component charge is identified by adding modifier 'tc' to the usual procedure number; technical component charges are institutional charges and not billed separately by physicians; however, portable x-ray suppliers only bill for technical component and should utilize modifier tc; the charge data from portable x-ray suppliers will then be used to build customary and prevailing profiles |
