Nocturnal Hypoxia ICD-10-CM Codes

What ICD-10 Codes Are Used for Nocturnal Hypoxia?

Nocturnal Hypoxia is a condition where oxygen levels drop significantly during sleep. The following are standard Nocturnal Hypoxia ICD codes:

• G47.33: Obstructive sleep apnea (adult) (pediatric). This code is used when a patient is diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, which may cause nocturnal hypoxia.
• G47.30: Sleep apnea, unspecified. This code is used when a patient has sleep apnea, which isn't specified as obstructive, central, or mixed and could cause nocturnal hypoxia.
• E27.3: Other adrenal hypofunction. This code can be used with others to describe conditions leading to nocturnal hypoxia.
• I27.20: Pulmonary hypertension, unspecified. Hypoxia can result from pulmonary hypertension, and this code represents that condition.
• I27.0: Primary pulmonary hypertension. This is a more specific code for primary pulmonary hypertension, a potential cause of hypoxia.

Which Nocturnal Hypoxia ICD Codes Are Billable?

Here is an overview of whether the above-mentioned ICD codes are billable:

• G47.33: Yes, this code is billable and usually used when a patient is diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.
• G47.30: Yes, this code is billable. It's used when a patient has sleep apnea not specified as obstructive, central, or mixed.
• E27.3: Yes, this code is billable. It describes other adrenal hypofunctions, which can be related to nocturnal hypoxia.
• I27.20: Yes, this code is billable. It represents unspecified pulmonary hypertension, which can lead to hypoxia.
• I27.0: Yes, this code is billable. It's used for a more specific condition, primary pulmonary hypertension.

Clinical Information

Nocturnal Hypoxia is a severe medical condition where a patient's oxygen levels drop during sleep. This can lead to several health issues:

• It often occurs due to sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea.
• Reduced oxygen can put significant strain on the heart and other organs.
• Symptoms often include restless sleep, snoring, morning headaches, and daytime sleepiness.
• Treatment usually involves managing the underlying cause, such as using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea.

Synonyms Include:

• Sleep Hypoxia
• Nighttime Hypoxia
• Sleep-Related Hypoxia
• Nocturnal Oxygen Desaturation
• Overnight Hypoxia
