ABSTRACT:

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of the brain (brainwaves) using highly sensitive recording equipment attached to the scalp by fine electrodes. It is used to diagnose neurological conditions.

This LCD addresses EEG testing via 24 hour ambulatory cassette recording.

Ambulatory EEG should always be preceded by a routine “resting” EEG. A routine “resting” EEG is described by CPT codes 95812, 95813, 95816, 95819, 95822 or 95827 and refers to a routine EEG recording of less than a 24 hour continuous duration.

Ambulatory EEG monitoring is a diagnostic procedure for patients in whom a seizure diathesis is suspected but not defined by history, physical or resting EEG. Twenty four

hour ambulatory cassette-recorded EEGs offer the ability to record the EEG on a long-term, outpatient basis. Electrodes for at least four (4) recording channels are placed on the patient. The cassette recorder is attached to the patient’s waist or on a shoulder harness. Recorded electrical activity is analyzed by playback through an audio amplifier system and video monitors.

Ambulatory EEG monitoring may facilitate the differential diagnosis between seizures and syncopal attacks, sleep apnea, cardiac arrhythmias or hysterical episodes. The test may also allow the investigator to identify the epileptic nature of some episodic periods of disturbed consciousness, mild confusion, or peculiar behavior, where resting EEG is not conclusive. It may also allow an estimate of seizure frequency, which may at times help to evaluate the effectiveness of a drug and determine its appropriate dosage.

INDICATIONS:

• Inconclusive routine “resting” EEGs; • Experiencing episodic events where epilepsy is suspected but the history, examination, and routine EEG recordings do not resolve the diagnostic uncertainties; • Patients with confirmed epilepsy who are experiencing suspected non-epileptic events or for classification of seizure type (only ictal recordings can reliably be used to classify seizure type (or types) which is important in selecting appropriate anti-epileptic drug therapy; • Differentiating between neurological and cardiac related problems; • Adjusting anti-epileptic medication levels; • Localizing seizure focus for enhanced patient management; • Identifying and medicating absence seizures; • For suspected seizures of sleep disturbances; • Seizures which are precipitated by naturally occurring cyclic events or environmental stimuli which are not reproducible in the hospital or clinic setting.

Ambulatory monitoring, however, is not necessary to evaluate most seizures, which are usually readily diagnosed by routine EEG studies and history. Medicare anticipates that many of these outpatient studies will not provide the diagnosis within the first 24 hours, but expects that 72 hours of monitoring will be diagnostic in most circumstances. Occasionally patients may require more extensive monitoring, and medical necessity must be documented for review in these circumstances. This 72-hour limitation does not apply to the inpatient setting where patients are frequently withdrawn from their anti-epileptic regimens, and where precise pre-surgical localization of epileptic foci is often conducted.

It is anticipated that once the diagnosis has been established, this study will not be repeated, nor will it be used in the monitoring of a therapeutic regimen. Again, this expectation will not be applied to patients readmitted for inpatient care of their seizure disorder.

• Study of neonates or unattended, non-cooperative patients; • Localization of seizure focus/foci when the seizure symptoms and/or other EEG recordings indicate the presence of bilateral foci or rapid generalization.

Proposed/Draft Process Information

Associated Information Documentation Requirements

Documentation supporting the medical necessity should be legible, maintained in the patient's medical record and made available to the A/B MAC upon request.

A routine “resting” EEG (as described by CPT codes 95812, 95813, 95816, 95819, 95822 or 95827) must be performed prior to performing an ambulatory continuous EEG (CPT codes 95950, 95951, 95953). A claim for the routine “resting” EEG must have been submitted to Medicare with a DOS within 1 year of the DOS of the ambulatory EEG.

Monitoring beyond 72 hours must be supported by written documentation for each additional 24 hours of monitoring and be made available to Medicare upon request.

Utilization Guidelines

Medicare would not expect to see more than three services (three of one or three of any combination of services) billed in most circumstances within a one-year period.

It is anticipated that once the diagnosis has been established, this study will not be repeated, nor will it be used in the monitoring of a therapeutic regimen. As stated above, this expectation will not be applied to patients readmitted for inpatient care of their seizure disorder.

Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the policy does not apply to that Bill Type. Complete absence of all Bill Types indicates that coverage is not influenced by Bill Type and the policy should be assumed to apply equally to all claims.

Revenue Codes:

Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the policy, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination. Complete absence of all Revenue Codes indicates that coverage is not influenced by Revenue Code and the policy should be assumed to apply equally to all Revenue Codes.
