Summary
BCBS policy confirms actigraphy testing (CPT 95803) remains investigational and not covered when used as sole diagnostic technique for sleep disorders. The policy clarifies that actigraphy is only covered when used as part of portable sleep monitoring and cannot be billed separately.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must verify CPT 95803 (actigraphy testing) is flagged as non-covered/investigational in billing system for BCBS plans. Ensure staff understand this code will be denied when billed as standalone service. When actigraphy is part of portable sleep monitoring (CPT 95800 or 95806), do not bill 95803 separately as it's bundled.
