In this podcast, Amber Darst, our Dental Insurance Coordinator, discusses guidelines on dental sleep medicine billing for oral appliance therapy.

Dentists treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by using continuous positive airway pressure device (CPAP) or dental appliances, which reposition the lower jaw and tongue; and upper airway surgery to remove tissue in the airway, among other procedures. Dental practices providing oral appliance therapy (OAT) can report it on their medical claims using HCPCS codes and modifiers. OAT is usually prescribed for mild and moderate sleep apnea when a patient does not tolerate a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device.
