HCPCS 95811

Polysomnography; age 6 years or older, sleep staging with 4 or more additional parameters of sleep, with initiation of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bi-level ventilation, attended by a technologist

AI EXPLANATION: An overnight sleep study, clinically referred to as polysomnography, is an in-person test used to diagnose and assess sleep-related disorders. During the overnight test, an attentive technologist monitors your sleep while gentle sensors record essential body functions, including brain waves, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, breathing patterns, and eye and leg movements. If breathing interruptions occur, the technologist introduces and calibrates positive airway pressure therapy—such as a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bi-level machine—using a fitted mask to help keep your airway unobstructed.
