What 94760 covers

This service records one oxygen-saturation reading using a noninvasive ear or pulse oximeter, commonly a fingertip sensor. Clinical staff may obtain it in a physician office, clinic, or hospital outpatient setting during assessment of dyspnea, respiratory symptoms, or oxygenation. The service represents a spot measurement, not a series of readings or prolonged monitoring. The code covers the technical measurement; a separate code covers interpretation when that service is furnished and reportable.

Report one determination when the service consists of a single reading. Documentation should identify the measurement and clinical context and support that only one determination was performed. CMS classifies this as a minor service payable only when no other physician service is billed for the same date. When an E/M service or another physician service is billed that day, 94760 is not separately payable under this rule. CMS assigns no physician work RVU to the technical service.

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.

94760 billing questions

When should I choose this code instead of 94761?

Use this code for one oxygen-saturation determination. Use 94761 when multiple determinations are performed.

How does this differ from 94762?

94762 is for continuous overnight oximetry. This code represents a single spot measurement.

Can I separately report it with an office visit on the same date?

CMS treats it as a minor service payable only when no other physician service is billed that day. It is not separately payable under this rule when an office visit or another physician service is billed for the date.

Does this code include interpretation?

No. This is the technical measurement; a separate code covers interpretation when interpretation is furnished and reportable.

What documentation supports a single determination?

Document the oxygen-saturation measurement, the clinical reason for the spot check, and that one determination was obtained rather than multiple or overnight readings.

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.
