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

What 94060 covers

This test compares forced expiratory measurements before and after a short-acting bronchodilator to assess airflow reversibility. The patient performs baseline maneuvers measuring FEV1 and FVC, receives an inhaled bronchodilator such as albuterol, then repeats spirometry after an appropriate interval. Respiratory therapists or pulmonary function technologists commonly perform it in physician offices, pulmonary function labs, and hospital outpatient departments. Pulmonologists, allergists, and other treating physicians interpret the results when evaluating asthma, COPD, wheezing, or treatment response.

Report one unit for the pre- and post-bronchodilator study in the same session, regardless of whether airflow improves. If only baseline spirometry is performed, report 94010 instead; do not separately report 94010 for the baseline phase of 94060. Record the indication, bronchodilator and dose, and both sets of measurements. The professional service also requires an interpretation and report. Under Medicare, billing without a modifier represents the global test; modifier 26 identifies the interpretation and report, while modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff performing the test. A physician interpreting a hospital-performed test reports the professional component.
