What 94014 covers
This service covers a patient using a spirometer outside the clinic to record breathing measurements and transmit them during a 30-day monitoring period. It is used when the treating clinician needs serial patient-generated readings rather than a single supervised office test, such as monitoring changing airflow symptoms at home. Pulmonologists and other clinicians managing respiratory conditions may arrange this type of monitoring.
Report the service for the applicable 30-day period, with documentation supporting the monitoring period and the recordings or transmissions. CMS classifies 94014 as a global-test-only code: if billing only the professional or technical portion, use the separately designated component code rather than appending modifier 26 or TC to 94014. Distinguish this service from a conventional spirometry test performed during a clinic visit and from codes for analysis or review of patient-recorded data.

94014 billing questions
How is 94014 different from office spirometry?
94014 covers patient-triggered recordings transmitted during a 30-day monitoring period. A conventional spirometry test performed in the office is reported with the code that matches that in-person service.
Can modifier 26 or TC be appended to 94014?
No. CMS identifies 94014 as a global-test-only code with separate codes for the professional and technical components. Use the appropriate component code when reporting only one portion.
What documentation supports reporting 94014?
Document the monitoring period and the patient-generated spirometry recordings or transmissions. The record should support that the service involved patient-recorded measurements over the period, rather than a single clinic-based test.
How does 94014 differ from 94015?
Both relate to patient-initiated spirometry over a monitoring period. 94015 is associated with physician analysis, interpretation, and reporting, while 94014 addresses recording and data transmission.
When is 94016 used instead?
94016 describes physician or qualified health care professional review and interpretation of patient-recorded spirometry. It is distinct from the recording and transmission service represented by 94014.
