Video Electroencephalographic (vEEG) Monitoring and Recording (for Tennessee Only)

Effective date
Nov 1, 2026
Identified
Nov 7, 2026

Summary

UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Tennessee retired its medical policy for video electroencephalographic (vEEG) monitoring and recording, effective 2026-11-01, so these services no longer require clinical review under that policy. Billing teams should stop routing vEEG requests for Tennessee Medicaid members through the retired policy's review pathway and update scheduling and prior authorization workflows to reflect the retirement.
