Wiki dx code for sleep breathing disorder

[njbrown]

Would G47.30 be the best dx to use for sleep breathing disorder--all is mention in note is just sleep apnea?

If the note says sleep apnea then yes, G47.30 is the correct code.

If the note had not mention sleep apnea would G47.8 or G 47.9 been more appropriate?

G47.8 is for an 'other specified' disorder. If they have only documented a sleep disorder but haven't said what that disorder is, then G47.9 would be the correct code.
