Adapted from Spanish Sleep Cohort (n=1,651, mean follow-up of 10 yrs; age ~ 50 yr)
Untreated severe OSA (AHI of 30+) is associated with an increased risk of both fatal and
non-fatal cardiovascular events
Consistent treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure1 (CPAP) or an AHI <15
reduces risk 1 Consistent use - Average daily use more than 4

The original AMA posting provided guidance to use an unlisted code 64999 for
the entire procedure as the code 64568 does not describe the placement of
chest wall sensors
The Societies plan on submitting (to AMA CPT) an application for a Level 1
CPT Add-on code to 64568 to describe the respiratory sensor.
