Hi,
I've been coding IRadiology for a few years but am currently new to Neurology, and I had a question concerning coding for EEG exams. I have several reports here where the physician has indicated on the report that the patient was "awake and alert" during the procedure. Since the wording in the CPT states awake and drowsy (95816) or "awake and asleep" (95819) where does awake and alert fall??
Thanks,
