What 94772 covers
Code 94772 identifies a circadian respiratory-pattern recording over 24 hours. The recorded information is interpreted as the professional portion of the diagnostic test; equipment and staff make up its technical portion. The code is distinct from pulse oximetry, which measures oxygen saturation, and from pediatric home apnea-monitor services that cover event recording or monitor data handling. The global service combines the professional and technical portions and is reported without a component modifier.
Medicare assigns physician fee schedule status C: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. Modifier 26 identifies interpretation and modifier TC identifies the technical portion; CMS separately prices both modifier-defined portions. Without either component modifier, the claim represents the global service.
