What 94016 covers

This service covers a physician’s or other qualified health care professional’s review of spirometry recordings initiated by the patient, interpretation of the results, and a report. Patients typically make recordings with a spirometer outside the clinic as part of monitoring lung function over time; the clinician reviews the submitted data rather than performing a single office spirometry session. Pulmonary and primary care practices may use this service when following patients whose care includes home spirometry monitoring.

Report 94016 for the professional review and interpretation associated with a 30-day period, not for each individual recording. Documentation should identify the monitoring period, show that patient-initiated spirometry data were reviewed, and include the clinician’s interpretation and report. CMS classifies 94016 as professional-component-only; the technical portion is represented separately. When the recording service is reported under a separate technical code, keep the interpretation distinct from the equipment, recording, and data-handling work.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

94016 billing questions

How does 94016 differ from 94014?

94016 represents professional review, interpretation, and reporting. Code 94014 represents the technical recording service.

Can 94016 be reported with 94014?

Yes, when the technical recording service and the professional interpretation are both furnished and documented for the monitoring period.

Does 94016 need modifier 26?

No modifier is needed to identify the professional component; 94016 is already a professional-component-only code.

Is 94016 reported for each home spirometry maneuver?

No. The code is for review and reporting over a 30-day period, rather than for each individual recording.

What documentation supports 94016?

Keep the monitoring period, evidence that the patient-initiated recordings were reviewed, the clinician’s interpretation, and the resulting report.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
