The technical component of an EEG consists of the people that perform the EEG. These are the people who schedule the EEG, apply the EEG wires and record the EEG using their EEG equipment.
The technical component of a patient bill is for the people’s time, the supplies (wires) and the equipment. Technical charges will come on a different bill and does not include the physician's professional fees.
The professional component of an EEG is the physician that is responsible for reading the EEG and writing a report once the EEG has been completed.
The professional component of a patient bill covers the cost of the physician’s professional services (reviewing the EEG data and writing the report). This is the fee for the physician to read and report the EEG findings.
