A determination of the medical necessity for certain components/additions to the prosthesis is based on the 
beneficiarys potential functional abilities. Potential functional ability is based on the reasonable expectations 
of the prosthetist, and treating practitioner, considering factors including, but not limited to: 
1. The beneficiarys past history (including prior prosthetic use if applicable); and 
2. The beneficiarys current condition including the status of the residual limb and the nature of other 
medical problems; and 
3. The beneficiarys desire to ambulate.

obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is covered if criteria A - D are met. 
A. The beneficiary has an in-person clinical evaluation by the treating practitioner prior to the sleep test to 
assess the beneficiary for obstructive sleep apnea testing. Refer to the ICD-10 code list in the LCD-
related Policy Article for applicable diagnoses. 
B. The beneficiary has a Medicare-covered sleep test that meets one of the following criteria (1 - 3): 
1. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) or Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) is greater than or 
equal to 15 events per hour with a minimum of 30 events; or, 
2. The AHI or RDI is greater than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 14 events per hour with a 
minimum of 10 events and documentation of: 
a. Excessive daytime sleepiness, impaired cognition, mood disorders, or insomnia; or, 
b. Hypertension, ischemic heart disease, or history of stroke; or, 
3. If the AHI greater than 30 or the RDI greater than 30 and meets either of the following(a or b): 
a. The beneficiary is not able to tolerate a positive airway pressure (PAP) device; or, 
b. The treating practitioner determines that the use of a PAP device is contraindicated. 
C. The device is ordered by the treating practitioner following a review of the report of the sleep test. (The 
practitioner who provides the order for the oral appliance could be different from the one who 
performed the clinical evaluation in criterion A.) 
D. The device is provided and billed for by a licensed dentist (DDS or DMD). 
If all of these criteria (A-D) are not met, the custom fabricated oral appliance (E0486) will be denied as not 
reasonable and necessary. 
Refer to the NONMEDICAL NECESSITY COVERAGE AND PAYMENT RULES section of the Policy 
Article for information about coverage for appliances that achieve their effect through positioning of the tongue 
(A9270). A prefabricated oral appliance (E0485) will be denied as not reasonable and necessary. There is insufficient 
evidence to show that these items are effective therapy for OSA.

Apnea, L33611

The rules say that if one laboratory procedure evaluates multiple genes using a next generation sequencing 
(NGS) procedure, the laboratory shall report only one unit of service of one genomic sequencing procedure, 
molecular multianalyte assay, multianalyte assay with algorithmic analysis, or proprietary laboratory analysis 
code. If no code accurately describes the procedure performed, the laboratory may report Current Procedural 
Terminology (CPT) code 81479 (Unlisted molecular pathology procedure) with one unit of service. You can

for an additional 60-day episode of care. You can find this information in the OASIS-D Guidance Manual,
