What 95808 covers
This code describes an attended overnight sleep study that records sleep staging along with one to three additional sleep parameters. Sleep staging uses signals such as EEG, eye movement, and chin muscle activity; additional signals may include airflow, respiratory effort, oxygen saturation, or heart rhythm. A sleep technologist monitors the study, commonly in a sleep laboratory, and a qualified physician interprets the recorded data to assess sleep disorders such as sleep apnea or abnormal sleep behaviors.
Select 95808 when the study is attended and includes sleep staging plus one to three additional parameters. The report and recording documentation should identify the signals obtained, confirm technologist attendance, and support the physician’s interpretation. CMS recognizes separately priced professional and technical components: modifier 26 reports interpretation, modifier TC reports equipment and staff, and no component modifier represents the global service. The billing entity should report the component it furnished.

95808 billing questions
How is 95808 different from 95810?

How does 95808 differ from 95807?
95808 includes sleep staging and one to three additional parameters. 95807 is an attended sleep study focused on specified cardiorespiratory measurements rather than sleep staging.
