#Dentists treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by using continuous positive airway pressure device (CPAP) or dental appliances, which reposition the lower jaw and tongue; and upper airway surgery to remove tissue in the airway, among other procedures. #Dentalpractices providing oral appliance therapy (OAT) can report it on their #medicalclaims using HCPCS codes and modifiers. #OAT is usually prescribed for mild and moderate sleep apnea when a patient does not tolerate a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device.
