For a study to be reported as polysomnography (PSG), sleep must be recorded and staged and directly attended by a qualified technologist. Report with modifier 52 if less than 6 hours of recording or in other cases of reduced services. CPT codes 95782, 95783, 95808, 95810, and 95811 include sleep staging.

The G codes (G0398, G0399 and G0400), which describe home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) services, were added to the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II in 2008. Some insurers accept the G codes while others accept the CPT® codes for HSATs (95800, 95801 and 95806).
Reporting 95800 includes a measurement of sleep time and 95806 describes a measurement of respiratory airflow and effort.
Diagnostic 95808 Polysomnography; sleep staging with 1-3 additional parameters of sleep, attended by a technologist. 95810 Polysomnography; sleep staging with 4 or more additional parameters of sleep, attended by a technologist.
If actigraphy is performed independently of another service (as a “stand alone” service) then it could be billed using CPT® code 95803. Actigraphy is also used as a component of other sleep medicine testing services (for example, as a component of some home sleep apnea testing devices) to estimate total sleep time.
G47. 30 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G47.
Medicare national payment rates for CPT® 95800 (Sleep study, unattended, simultaneous recording; heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory analysis, eg, by airflow or peripheral arterial tone and sleep time) remained largely the same, with a 2% decrease compared to prior year.
Overview. Polysomnography, also called a sleep study, is a comprehensive test used to diagnose sleep disorders. Polysomnography records your brain waves, the oxygen level in your blood, heart rate and breathing, as well as eye and leg movements during the study.
Medicare uses code 95810 for in-center diagnostic polysomnography (PSG) and 95811 for a 50/50 study or full night titration study (learn more about sleep study types and codes, including pediatric sleep codes here.
The average reimbursement for professional fees associated with sleep services currently appears to be $200.
33 – Obstructive Sleep Apnea (Adult) (Pediatric) ICD-Code G47. 33 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (Adult) (pediatric).
CPT®/HCPCS code requirements may vary by payer for unattended home sleep studies. Most private payers accept CPT® 95800 for the WatchPAT™ sleep test. Some Medicare contractors accept CPT® 95800 while others require reporting with HCPCS G0400.
A level 3 sleep study—often referred to as a home sleep apnea test (HSAT)—is done from the comfort of your own home—not at a sleep lab or hospital. With a level 3 sleep study, you use a sleep study kit at home that records your breathing activity, oxygen levels, and heart rate throughout the course of the night.
CPT code 94660 requires that the physician personally perform face-to-face patient care, such as fitting the mask and titrating pressure.

Home sleep tests, or unattended sleep studies are used exclusively to diagnose or rule out obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
F51.9 Sleep disorder not due to a substance or know... F51.-) A change from the patient's baseline sleeping pattern, either an increase or a decrease in the number of hours slept. This can also refer to alterations in the stages of sleep. A disturbance of normal sleep patterns.
Conditions characterized by disturbances of usual sleep patterns or behaviors; divided into three major categories: dyssomnias (i.e. Disorders characterized by insomnia or hypersomnia), parasomnias (abnormal sleep behaviors ), and sleep disorders secondary to medical or psychiatric disorders.
insomnia - a hard time falling or staying asleep. sleep apnea - breathing interruptions during sleep. restless legs syndrome - a tingling or prickly sensation in the legs. narcolepsy - daytime "sleep attacks".
Poor sleep may also be caused by diseases such as heart disease, lung disease, or nerve disorders.
F51.9 Sleep disorder not due to a substance or know... F51.-) A change from the patient's baseline sleeping pattern, either an increase or a decrease in the number of hours slept.
CPT® code 95805 has the following description: Multiple sleep latency or maintenance of wakefulness testing, recording, analysis, interpretation of physiological measurements of sleep during multiple trials to assess sleepiness. If all components of this code were performed and documented in the patient’s record, then CPT® code 95805 is the appropriate code to report.
The G codes (G0398, G0399 and G0400), which describe home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) services, were added to the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II codebook in 2008.
If actigraphy is performed independently of another service (as a “stand alone” service) then it could be billed using CPT® code 95803. Actigraphy is also used as a component of other sleep medicine testing services (for example, as a component of some home sleep apnea testing devices) to estimate total sleep time.
This issue was addressed in a CPT Assistant (AMA publication) article in 2002. As indicated in the article, the claim for the polysomnography should be submitted for the date the study was started. The claim for the MSLT should be submitted for the date that the MSLT was started. For example, if polysomnography was started on Monday night and is completed on Tuesday morning, the polysomnography claim should be submitted with Monday as the date of service. The MSLT claim should be submitted with Tuesday as the date of service.
Insomnia, Unspecified (G47.00) is used when the clinical information is insufficient to assign a specific ICD-10 code. Other insomnia not due to a substance or known physiological condition (F51.09) is used when the clinical information indicates a specific diagnosis for which the ICD-10 does not have a specific code.
There is no separate CPT® code for a split night study. Code 95811 is the appropriate code for both a split-night study and a PAP titration study. The descriptor of code 95811 matches both types of studies. It is not appropriate to bill the diagnostic portion and titration portion of a study separately. Doing so would be billing for two procedures when only one was performed.
CPT codes 95782, 95783, 95808, 95810, and 95811 include sleep staging. Medicare would not expect to see separate billings for an EEG, EOG, and/or EMG in addition to these codes.

3. Parasomnias group the remaining covered sleep disturbances, such as sleepwalking, sleep terrors, and rapid eye movement (REM) disorders. These patients are frequently a danger to themselves and others while sleeping due to their physical outbursts.
For apnea to be medically diagnosed, there must be a cessation of airflow measured for at least 10 seconds. Hypopnea is an abnormal respiratory event that lasts at least 10 seconds, and there is at least a 30 percent reduction in thoracoabdominal movement or airflow, and at least a 4 percent oxygen desaturation.
Know Medicare Covered Diagnoses. There are only three categories of diagnoses Medicare covers: 1. Narcolepsy is defined as abnormal sleep tendencies, such as falling asleep while driving. This condition must be documented as severe enough to affect a person’s well-being for Medicare to cover the diagnostic testing. 2.
Be sure to document all relevant symptoms. There is no code for “witnessed apnea.”.
Symptoms may include snoring, fatigue, hypersomnia, sleepwalking, sleep terrors, obesity, etc. Never code a “probably,” “suspected,” or “ques tionable” condition in the outpatient setting as a confirmed, active condition.
The OIG has their eyes open for medical necessity of these diagnostic studies. A provider must keep in mind several things to support compliant coding for diagnostic sleep studies. And the pressure is on: The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has included sleep studies on its annual Work Plan since 2012 due to the increase in services paid by ...
One polysomnogram/sleep study will be covered every five years unless there is a significant change in patient status. A repeat polysomnogram before five years will be covered for the following indications: 1. Weight gain or loss of ten percent of body weight; 2.
Type III devices monitor and record a minimum of 4 channels and must record ventilation or airflow, heart rate or ECG, and oxygen saturation. A sleep technician is not necessarily in constant attendance in Type III studies but is needed for preparation.
Home Sleep Studies (HSS) may be considered medically necessary when they are clinically indicated in the judgment of the treating physician. A second home sleep study may be indicated to evaluate the impact of uvulopatatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) or other corrective surgeries for OSA after appropriate recovery from surgery.
The ICD code G47 is used to code Sleep disorder. A sleep disorder, or somnipathy, is a medical disorder of the sleep patterns of a person or animal. Some sleep disorders are serious enough to interfere with normal physical, mental, social and emotional functioning.
G47. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code G47 is a non-billable code.
