Hi, My name is Tina and I work for a dental office and I have been to one of your Medical coding and billing seminars and got a lot of useful information but I had a question needing to be cleared up. I know we have to have a sleep study on file to submit to Medicare but my question is I thought I had heard that the sleep study has to be asked for by a MD not by a General Dentist. In other words the referring physician for the sleep study has to be a medical doctor, is this correct? I know the MD has to refer the patient to us for all medically needed appliances but can we, as a dental office, refer a patient to another MD or sleep doctor for the sleep study? Thanks
