About This Procedure
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) measure how well the lungs work. Used to diagnose and monitor lung diseases like asthma, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis.
Why do these costs look low?
These figures represent Medicaid reimbursement rates — the amounts that state Medicaid programs actually paid providers. Medicaid typically reimburses significantly less than private insurance or out-of-pocket prices. If you have private insurance or are paying cash, expect higher costs. See the cost components below for per-code averages.
