Hi dentlc01!

The two modifiers that Medicare requires for E0486 are:

NU - to indicate the oral appliance is new durable medical equipment
KX - to indicate the patient meets all Medicare qualifying criteria for E0486 (i.e. diagnosed with OSA AHI 5+, if severe has tried and failed CPAP, etc)

Hope this helps!

I have submitted a claim to United Health Care for an Oral Sleep Appliance. We've spplied codes 327.23 (diagnosis) and E0486 (service). The insurance company is requiring, what they've told me is, a modifier code. They have stated that they follow the Medicare guidlines and that a modifier code is required in this scenerio.

Any suggestions as to what code I should submit?

Thanks
