What this provider does (Medicare)
Based on Medicare fee-for-service claims, 2024; not all care is captured.
| Service (HCPCS) | Medicare services | Typical Medicare-allowed (2024) |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement of Brain Wave Activity With Video (veeg), 12-26 Hours With Review and Report By Health Care Professional95720 | 23 | $206 |
| Measurement of Brain Wave Activity (eeg), in Coma Or Asleep95822 | 18 | $57 |
| Measurement of Brain Wave Activity (eeg), Awake and Drowsy95816 | 11 | $57 |
Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $57–$206 (2024). The Medicare-allowed amount is what Medicare recognizes for a service under fee-for-service — a reference figure for 2024, not a price quote and not what you would be billed. Medicare Part B covers roughly an eighth of all NPIs (65+ skew); services with fewer than 11 beneficiaries are suppressed by CMS.

What this provider prescribes (Medicare Part D)
Top drugs by Medicare Part D claim volume, 2024 · 6 distinct drugs on file.
| Drug | Part D claims (2024) |
|---|---|
| Zonisamide | 43 |
| Lamotrigine | 37 |
| Lacosamide | 35 |
| Cannabidiol (cbd)brand: Epidiolex | 19 |
| Levetiracetam | 16 |
| Rufinamidebrand: Banzel | 11 |
Medicare Part D only. These counts cover prescriptions paid through Medicare Part D in 2024 — they do notinclude cash-pay, commercial-insurance, Medicaid, or Part B–administered drugs, and badly undercount high cash-pay categories (e.g. GLP-1 weight-loss, testosterone, and ED medications). Any drug with 10 or fewer claims is omitted by CMS, and beneficiary counts under 11 are suppressed — so a missing drug means no Part D record, never zero. This is a factual claims summary, not an endorsement, not medical advice, and not a consumer report. Source: CMS Medicare Part D Prescribers — by Provider and Drug.

This is a transparency signal, not a verdict — such payments are legal and common, and their presence is neither an endorsement nor a criticism. Source: CMS Open Payments, program year 2024.
