Hey guys. Is there a website detailing ICD-9 coding specifics? I've already seen their "free online" site and it doesn't include information on diagnoses.
1) I am curious how you bill UARS/OSA by RDI criteria (I've been coding as Sleep Apnea, Unspecified (780.57).
2) Also, if someone snores on a PSG, but has no evidence of SDB, do you simply code for Snoring (786.09) despite the ICSD-2 guidelines stating that one cannot be hypersomnolent to be diagnosed with primary snoring.
3) Are you guys coding for hypersomnia, unspecified (780.54) with persistent hypersomnolence depsite adequately (or inadequately) treated OSA or do you use the hypersomnolence with OSA code (can't remember the number)?
Sorry! I'm in practice by myself and didn't have anyone directly available to ask.
Regards,
Dan
