When billing only the professional or the technical component, documentation must indicate which component was provided and support billing of that single component.
Medical records must include history and physical notes, laboratory results, and documentation of signs and symptoms that warrant the head/neck diagnostic imaging.

A routine EEG is defined as a recording of less than a 24-hour continuous duration.
