G47.37
BillableCentral sleep apnea in conditions classified elsewhere
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This code describes sleep apnea caused by a central nervous system problem that occurs as a result of another medical condition the patient has. During sleep, the brain temporarily fails to signal the muscles to breathe, causing breathing to stop and start repeatedly.
Coding Tips
- •This is a secondary diagnosis code that requires documentation of the underlying condition causing the central sleep apnea (such as heart failure, stroke, or neurological disease) - code that condition first
- •Do not use this code for obstructive sleep apnea or primary central sleep apnea; verify the apnea type is documented as central and is directly related to another classified condition
Code First
- underlying condition
