What 95800 covers
This code describes an unattended sleep study using portable equipment to record heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory information, and sleep time during a sleep period. It is commonly used when evaluating a patient for suspected obstructive sleep apnea outside a sleep laboratory. A sleep medicine physician or other qualified interpreting professional reviews the recorded data and prepares the interpretation; equipment and staff support the technical portion of the test.
Select this code when the study includes sleep-time measurement along with the specified physiologic data. The report should identify the study performed and document the recorded data and the interpreting professional’s findings. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for interpretation or modifier TC for equipment and staff; without a component modifier, the claim represents the global service. CMS separately prices these modifier components.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
