Types of Studies
A. Standard Polysomnography
CPT 95810
Most studies are of this type to rule out or confirm a suspected diagnosis, (e.g. sleep apnea, REM behavior disorder, periodic limb movement disorder, etc.).
Split-night Polysomnography is typically carried out when evidence of obstructive sleep apnea is seen in the first two - four hours of a study. CPAP therapy is then administered for the remainder of the study. Diagnostic and treatment criteria established by Medicare are followed.
- Electroencephalogram
- Electrooculogram
- Electromyogram
- Electrocardiogram
- Right and left leg EMG
- Nasal/oral airflow
- Thoracic respiratory effort
- Abdominal respiratory effort
- Snoring
- SaO2
- Heart rate
- Video monitoring
B. Polysomnography with CPAP
CPT 95811
This is an entire night spent titrating an effective positive airway pressure.This procedure is typically ordered when:
- There was insufficient time or data collected to allow for Split-night Polysomnography during an initial sleep study on a sleep apnea patient.
- A patient who is already on CPAP experiences continued or renewed daytime hypersomnolence, and minor CPAP pressure increases have not alleviated the symptoms.
