We had our in-house denturist build a sleep apnea device for a patient that both myself and the patient were expecting the medical insurance to cover. This is my first attempt but I have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have experience billing a sleep apnea device to medical insurance? E0486 -- Oral device/appliance used to reduce upper airway collapsibility, adjustable or nonadjustable, custom fabricated, includes fitting and adjustment. Regence is denying as a non-billable to insurance. I bypassed billing Medicare as it is a dental device.
Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated!
