R06.83

What This Code Means

Snoring is a breathing sound that occurs during sleep when air passes through relaxed throat tissues. It is often associated with sleep disturbances but may not always indicate a serious condition.

Coding Tips

• •Snoring alone is typically coded as R06.83; if sleep apnea is documented, use the appropriate sleep apnea code instead
• •Document whether snoring is affecting sleep quality or if the patient has been evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea
