Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

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.

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.
