Question:
If we perform spirometry differently than described in 94010 can we still report 94010? We still think this is the best code for the circumstance.
Answer:
If you do not perform the spirometry as described, you cannot use this code. If you do everything described plus additional parameters, then bill 94010 plus the extra tests.
