Decoding Insurance: Essential HCPCS & ICD-10 Codes for Sleep, Oxygen, and Asthma Products

Decoding Insurance: Essential HCPCS & ICD-10 Codes for Sleep, Oxygen, and Asthma Products

Each year, in the United States, health care insurers process over 5 billion claims for payment. For Medicare and other health insurance programs to ensure that these claims are processed in an orderly and consistent manner, standardized coding systems are essential. The HCPCS & ICD 10 Code Sets are the standard code sets currently used for this purpose. While the sets are complex, the items we sell at CPAPX fall primarily into the categories listed below.

NOTE: One of the ways we keep overhead low and our prices down is by working directly with consumers rather than with HMOs, Medicare and insurance companies. Having said that, most companies will accept our itemized receipts for reimbursement purposes and we do provide our complete business information, Tax ID, and standard insurance product codes directly on each receipt.

ICD-10 DIAGNOSIS CODES FOR SLEEP, OXYGEN & ASTHMA THERAPY
Developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and its coding system provides critical information about epidemiology, managing health, and treating conditions. Healthcare professionals use ICD codes to record and identify health conditions; and insurance companies use them to identify and classify conditions on insurance claims. You can usually find the ICD10 (or the older ICD9) code for your condition listed on prescriptions or medical records. Below are common ICD-10 codes for diagnoses treated by products sold on this site.

G47.30 Sleep Apnea (Unspecified)
G47.31 Primary Central Sleep Apnea
G47.33 Obstructive Sleep Apnea (Adult) (Pediatric)
