Hi guest! The diagnosis code will depend on the patient! Here are some examples of some ICD-10 coding options that may apply to patients with suspected sleep disordered breathing: R06.83 – Snoring R53.83 – Other fatigue However, just a heads up, some medical insurers may not offer coverage for overnight pulse oximetry for screening for OSA/sleep disordered breathing. For example, here is a link to Aetna”s medical policy titled “Pulse Oximetry for Home Use” In the policy, it states: “Aetna considers the use of home pulse oximetry experimental and investigational for all other indications, including the following because its effectiveness for these indications has not been established: Asthma management Diagnosing nocturnal hypoventilation associated with neuromuscular disorders Evaluating and teaching continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) Maintenance or continuous monitoring (other than for persons on a ventilator) When used alone as a screening/testing technique for suspected obstructive sleep apnea.” Hope this helps, have a great day!
