What 94626 covers

This service covers a session of outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation that includes continuous oximetry monitoring. It is used for patients with chronic respiratory disease who need structured rehabilitation, commonly people with COPD working to improve exercise tolerance and manage breathlessness. A physician or other qualified health care professional provides the service; rehabilitation staff may support exercise and other session activities. The oximetry monitors oxygen saturation continuously during the session, rather than only at selected points.

Report one unit for the rehabilitation session, not for each exercise or monitoring interval. Documentation should identify the patient’s pulmonary rehabilitation session, the services performed, and the continuous oximetry monitoring. Code 94625 is the sibling option when the session is performed without continuous oximetry. Continuous monitoring distinguishes 94626 from that code; it is not an additional service to report separately from the session code.

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.

94626 billing questions

How does 94626 differ from 94625?

94626 is for an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation session with continuous oximetry. Use 94625 when the session does not include continuous oximetry.

Is the code reported per session or per exercise?

Report one unit for the rehabilitation session. Do not count individual exercises or monitoring intervals as separate units.

Can continuous oximetry be billed separately from 94626?

Continuous oximetry is the distinguishing element of 94626, not a separate add-on service to report for that session.

What documentation supports reporting 94626?

Document the outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation session, the services performed, and continuous oximetry monitoring during the session.

Is 94626 a pulmonary exercise stress test?

No. It reports a rehabilitation session. Codes such as 94618 describe pulmonary stress testing to assess exercise response, not a rehabilitation session.

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.
