The submitted CPT/HCPCS code must describe the service performed. The submitted medical record must support the use of the selected ICD-10-CM code(s).The documentation must include the legible signature of the physician or non-physician practitioner responsible for and providing the care to the patient. Every page of the record must be legible and include appropriate patient identification information (e.g., complete name, dates of service).All documentation must be maintained in the patient's medical record and made available to the contractor upon request.Therefore, procedure code 94726 or 94727 should be used when the RV and FRC need to be determined. The FRC cannot be measured by simple spirometry either. The residual volume (RV) cannot be measured by spirometry and is determined by subtracting the expiratory reserve volume (ERV) from the functional residual capacity (FRC). Per the LCD, it is not expected that a pulse oximetry (procedure code 94760 or 94761) for oxygen saturation would routinely be performed with spirometry. Repeat spirometry performed to evaluate the patient's response to newly established treatments, monitor the course of asthma/COPD, or evaluate patient's continuing with symptomatology after initiation of treatment should be utilized with procedure code 94010. Per the LCD, it is expected that procedure code 94060 be utilized during the initial diagnostic evaluation of a patient. Per the LCD, it is expected that procedure code 94070 will only be performed to make an initial diagnosis of asthma. Therefore, this service is bundled into payment for other services. Procedure code 94150 (Vital Capacity, total) represents a service that has a B-status indicator on the Medicare Fee Schedule for Physician’s services. When billing for non-covered services, use the appropriate modifier. Notice: It is not appropriate to bill Medicare for services that are not covered (as described by the entire LCD) as if they are covered. Please refer to the LCD for reasonable and necessary requirements.
