The rules say that continued coverage of a PAP device (E0470 or E0601) beyond the first three months of therapy requires that, no sooner than the 31st day but no later than the 91st day after initiating therapy, the treating practitioner must conduct a clinical re-evaluation and document that the beneficiary is benefiting from PAP therapy. For PAP devices with initial dates of service on or after November 1, 2008, documentation of clinical benefit is demonstrated by: 1. In-person clinical re-evaluation by the treating practitioner with documentation that symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea are improved; and, 2. Objective evidence of adherence to use of the PAP device, reviewed by the treating practitioner. Adherence to therapy is defined as use of PAP 4 or more hours per night on 70% of nights during a consecutive thirty (30) day period anytime during the first three (3) months of initial usage. If the above criteria are not met, continued coverage of a PAP device and related accessories will be denied as not reasonable and necessary. You can find this rule in Local Coverage Determination (LCD): Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Devices for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (L33718) - Effective January 1, 2020.
