CPT code 94375: Flow-volume loop, respiratory tracing2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in Florida
Reports a respiratory test that plots airflow against lung volume during breathing maneuvers, helping assess airflow patterns in pulmonary evaluation.
Medicare pays $41.04–$44.39 for 94375 in the office in Florida, from Rest of Florida to Miami, FL. Which amount applies depends on the service address.
Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 94375 covers
During this pulmonary function test, the patient performs breathing maneuvers while equipment records airflow in relation to lung volume, producing a flow-volume tracing. Pulmonary function laboratories, hospital departments, and office-based respiratory practices commonly perform the test, with a respiratory therapist or other trained staff member coaching the maneuvers. Clinicians use the tracing to assess airflow patterns, including patterns that may suggest obstruction in the upper airway.
Report 94375 when the flow-volume loop test is performed and documented, rather than selecting it solely because a loop image appears in a broader pulmonary function report. The record should support the maneuver performed and the resulting tracing; the interpreting clinician’s findings support the professional service. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and reporting without either modifier represents the global service.

How to choose
- 94010SpirometryNo post-bronchodilator comparison
- Use 94375 for the flow-volume loop service. Use 94010 when the documented service is spirometry, rather than treating a loop graphic alone as evidence of both services.
- 94060Bronchodilator spirometryPre- and post-bronchodilator testing
- 94060 represents spirometry with bronchodilator responsiveness testing. 94375 represents the flow-volume loop test, without that pre- and post-bronchodilator service definition.
- 94726Body plethysmographyLung volumes, plethysmographic method
- 94726 measures lung volumes using body plethysmography. 94375 records airflow in relation to lung volume during breathing maneuvers.
94375 billing questions
How does 94375 differ from 94010?
94375 represents a flow-volume loop tracing. 94010 represents spirometric testing; choose based on the service performed and documented, not simply the format of a report.
Can 94375 and 94010 be reported together?
A loop image alone does not establish that a separate spirometry service was performed. Documentation should identify each service being reported.
When should modifier 26 or TC be used?
Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports 94375?
Document the breathing maneuvers, the resulting flow-volume tracing, and the interpreting clinician’s findings when the professional component is reported.
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.
