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

What 94619 covers

This test evaluates whether exertion triggers airway narrowing, often in a patient with cough, wheezing, or breathlessness during or after exercise. The patient exercises, commonly on a treadmill or cycle, while pulmonary function staff obtain spirometry before and after exertion. A physician or qualified clinician interprets the airflow changes in the context of the test and symptoms. It is typically performed in a pulmonary function laboratory or another setting equipped for exercise testing and spirometry.

Report 94619 for the bronchospasm challenge without ECG recording, rather than a general exercise-capacity assessment. Documentation should identify the clinical reason for testing, exercise protocol, baseline and post-exercise spirometry findings, and interpretation. The pre- and post-exercise measurements are part of the challenge, not separate services when they represent the work of this test. Medicare recognizes professional and technical components: use modifier 26 for interpretation only, modifier TC for equipment and staff only, or report without a component modifier for the global service.
