Any EEG specialists out there! 
2 questions:
(1) - Provider performs a 7 hour long EEG: IS THAT REPORTED AS 95813? (-26)
(2) - Provider performs a 24 hour long EEG, but does not mention anything about localization or lateralization or seizure focus, then would that be reported as 95813? (-26)
Does the provider have to state in their note the verbiage that's mentioned in the CPT codes 95950,95951 descriptions in order to use the 24 hour codes?
thanks for your help!
