Sleep-deprived/induced EEG
    A sleep-deprived/induced EEG is an EEG recording (with or without video monitoring)
    performed after an overnight period of sleep deprivation of greater than 4 hours; or the
    administration of a sedative/hypnotic agent prior to the EEG recording for the purposes of sleep
    induction, and must include all of the following:
       a.at least 60 minutes of EEG recording time;
       b.a minimum of 16 channels of EEG; and
       c.recordings of at least two physiological parameters.
G541      - technical component .......................................................   45.30
G543      - professional component..................................................                   120.00
   EEG with time-locked video recording
     An EEG with time-locked video recording must include all of the following:
    a. at least 30 minutes of EEG recording time;
    b. a minimum of 16 channels of EEG;
    c. recordings of at least two physiological parameters; and
    d. a time-locked video recording
G541    - technical component ........................................................ 45.30
G496    - professional component...................................................          120.00
   Note:
   1.The amount payable for a sleep-deprived/induced EEG, or an EEG with time-locked video
     recording that does not meet the above requirements will be reduced to that for a routine
     EEG fees (i.e. G414 and G415/G418).
   2.G414 is not eligible for payment with G541.
   3.Only one of G415, G418, G543 or G496 are eligible for payment per day.
   4.EEG services (i.e. G414, G415, G418, G496, G541, G543, G540, G545, G542, G546, G554,
     G555, or G544) are not eligible for payment with any overnight or daytime sleep study (i.e.
     J898, J899, J990, J896, J897, J895, J890, J889, J893 or J894).

     Prolonged EEG monitoring
      Videotape recording of clinical signs in association with spontaneous EEG. Unit means ¼ hour

            14 services per hospital admission.
          3. G545 is not eligible for payment for EEG monitoring performed for routine physiologic
            surveillance, including depth of sedation or anaesthesia.
          4. G545 is not eligible for payment on any service date where any other professional EEG
            service is eligible for payment.
      Radiotelemetry or portable recordings to monitor spontaneous EEG from a freely moving
      patient, add to routine fees.

   G555 - professional component .....................................................         120.00
      Polygraphic recording of parameters in addition to EEG (such as respiration, eye movement,
      EKG, muscle movements, etc.)
