About 94762: Continuous overnight oxygen saturation monitoring

Reports continuous overnight measurement of oxygen saturation by ear or pulse oximetry when a clinician evaluates suspected nocturnal oxygen desaturation.

This service records oxygen saturation continuously overnight using an ear or pulse oximeter. It is commonly arranged for a patient with suspected nocturnal hypoxemia, including someone with chronic lung disease whose oxygen levels during sleep need assessment. Monitoring may be performed at home or in a clinical setting, depending on the equipment and care plan. The recording measures oxygen saturation; it is not a respiratory-event or airflow study.

Report 94762 for the overnight continuous recording, rather than for isolated readings or repeated spot checks. Documentation should identify the clinical reason for testing and include the monitoring record or report supporting that the service was performed overnight. CMS classifies this as a technical-component-only code: the code represents the technical service, and interpretation is covered by a separate code when performed and appropriately reported. Do not treat the technical service as including the interpretation.

94762 billing questions

How does 94762 differ from 94760 and 94761?

94762 describes continuous overnight oxygen saturation monitoring. 94760 is for a single determination, while 94761 is for multiple determinations such as readings taken during exercise.

Does 94762 include interpretation?

No. CMS identifies 94762 as technical-component-only; interpretation is covered by a separate code when performed and reported.

What documentation supports reporting 94762?

Document the clinical reason for overnight monitoring and retain the recording or report showing that continuous overnight oxygen saturation measurement was performed.

Can 94762 be used for daytime spot readings?

No. Use 94762 for continuous overnight monitoring, not isolated daytime readings or a series of spot measurements.

Is overnight pulse oximetry the same as respiratory-pattern monitoring?

No. 94762 measures oxygen saturation. Code 94772 concerns recording a circadian respiratory pattern, a different measurement.
