Sleep medicine billing is highly specialized, revolving around the accurate coding and reporting of sleep studies (polysomnography) and the ongoing management of patients with sleep-related breathing disorders like obstructive sleep apnea. Our service is designed to navigate the complex payer requirements for prior authorization, medical necessity, and correct coding for both facility and professional components of sleep testing, ensuring maximum reimbursement for your sleep center.

Home Sleep Test & Portable Monitor Billing

Precise coding for home sleep apnea tests (95800-95801) including unattended and limited-channel studies, with correct prior authorization management and Medicare LCD compliance for every order.

CPAP/BiPAP Prior Authorization & DME Billing
