This way, physicians can find these polyps and you can get them removed before they turn into cancer. Found to detect 92 percent of colon cancers and 42 percent of high-risk pre-cancers, most payers cover Cologuard™ under a preventive care benefit. Patients should discuss results with their healthcare provider to determine when they should be re-screened or if further testing is necessary.

Each CPT code consists of a five-digit numeric or alphanumeric version. Wide ranges of coding benefit all parties, and are focused on a common set of standards so diverse users have an overall understanding across the healthcare spectrum. Listed below are the various types of CPT codes: - Category I: The first level of CPT coding has descriptors corresponding to a specific procedure or service. Codes range from 00100 to 99499. - Category II: The second level of CPT coding is utilized for performance measurement.

Sleep study in sleep lab (6 years or older)
HCPCS
Although there is no cure for this sleep condition, the symptoms (EDS and symptoms of abnormal REM sleep, such as cataplexy) can be controlled in most people with drug treatment. Medications include – Stimulants (like Modafinil (Provigil) or Armodafinil (Nuvigil), Amphetamine-like stimulants, Methylphenidate (Aptensio XR, Concerta, and Ritalin), Sodium oxybate and other antidepressant drugs. Incorporating lifestyle adjustments such avoiding the intake of caffeine, alcohol and nicotine, regulating sleep schedules, establishing a normal exercise pattern and meal schedule and scheduling short naps (10-15 minutes in length) at regular intervals during the day may help reduce symptoms in the long-run.

ICD-10 Codes to Use for “Narcolepsy” G47.4 – Narcolepsy and cataplexy G47.41 – Narcolepsy - G47.411 – Narcolepsy and cataplexy, with cataplexy - G47.419 – Narcolepsy and cataplexy, without cataplexy G47.42 – Narcolepsy in conditions classified elsewhere - G47.421 – Narcolepsy in conditions classified elsewhere, with cataplexy - G47.429 – Narcolepsy in conditions classified elsewhere, without cataplexy CPT Codes for Narcolepsy Diagnostic Testing - 95782 – Polysomnography; younger than 6 years, sleep staging with 4 or more additional parameters of sleep, attended by a technologist - 95783 – Polysomnography; younger than 6 years, sleep staging with 4 or more additional parameters of sleep, with initiation of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure therapy or bi-level ventilation, attended by a technologist - 95800 – Sleep study, unattended, simultaneous recording; heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory analysis (e.g., by airflow or peripheral arterial tone), and sleep time - 95801 – Sleep study, unattended, simultaneous recording; minimum of heart rate, oxygen saturation, and respiratory analysis (e.g., by airflow or peripheral arterial tone) - 95803 – Actigraphy testing, recording, analysis, interpretation, and report (minimum of 72 hours to 14 consecutive days of recording) - 95805- Multiple Sleep Latency or Maintenance Of Wakefulness Testing, recording, analysis and interpretation of physiological measurements of sleep during multiple trials to assess sleepiness - 95806 – Sleep study, unattended, simultaneous recording of, heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory airflow, and respiratory effort (e.g., thoraco abdominal movement) - 95807 – Sleep study, simultaneous recording of ventilation, respiratory effort, ECG or heart rate, and oxygen saturation, attended by a technologist - 95808 – Polysomnography; sleep staging with 1-3 additional parameters of sleep, attended by a technologist - 95810 – Polysomnography; sleep staging with 4 or more additional parameters of sleep, attended by a technologist - 95811 – Polysomnography; sleep staging with 4 or more additional parameters of sleep, with initiation of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure therapy or bi-level ventilation, attended by a technologist - G0398 – Home Sleep Study Test (HST) with type II portable monitor, unattended; minimum of 7 channels: EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG/heart rate, airflow, respiratory effort and oxygen saturation - G0399 – Home Sleep Test (HST) with type III portable monitor, unattended; minimum of 4 channels: 2 respiratory movement/airflow, 1 ECG/heart rate and 1 oxygen saturation - G0400 – Home Sleep Test (HST) with type IV portable monitor, unattended; minimum of 3 channels Dealing with narcolepsy can be challenging. Making necessary adjustments in your daily schedule may help. Taking adequate safety precautions, (particularly when driving) is important for people with narcolepsy.
