HCPCS 94060

Bronchodilation responsiveness, spirometry as in 94010, pre- and post-bronchodilator administration

AI EXPLANATION: A pulmonary function test with bronchodilator responsiveness measures how well your lungs take in and exhale air, and whether breathing medication helps open your airways. During the evaluation, you breathe forcefully into a specialized mouthpiece connected to a monitoring device to record your baseline airflow. You then breathe in an inhaled medication designed to relax and widen your bronchial passages, and repeat the breathing test after a brief pause to see if your lung capacity and air movement improve.
