Pulmonary rehabilitation
About 94626: Outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation with oximetry
Report this service for an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation session delivered by a physician or qualified health care professional with continuous oximetry monitoring.
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.

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?

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.
