CPT®codes 94760, 94761, and 94762 are included in the critical care services listed in Group 2: Codes. These codes will not be paid separately when billed with a critical care code.
Payment for CPT®code 31720 may be allowed, on an individual consideration basis, for respiratory treatments for three consecutive days or three identical services within a 30-day time frame. Additional payment may be allowed for respiratory therapy treatments exceeding these parameters only if medical necessity can be established by medical documentation. In the case of consecutive days of care, the medical record should indicate why the patient was not transferred to a higher level of care.

She is tested and discharged without a definitive diagnosis. Several weeks later, her primary care physician refers her to a pulmonologist . The pulmonologist performs a detailed history and exam with moderately complex medical decision-making, including an O2Sat, and diagnosis the patient with COPD. He administers a dose of 1 mg albuterol in concentrated form, non-compounded. The O2Sat was instrumental in confirming the patient’s diagnosis. The O2Sat (94760) and inhalation treatment (94640) are separately billable, as is the nebulizer mask (A7003). The proper HCPCS Level II code for the medication is J7611 Albuterol, inhalation solution, FDA-approved final product, non-compounded, administered through DME, concentrated form, 1 mg.
For instance, J7620 describes albuterol and ipratropium, with unit dosages of 2.5 mg and 0.5 mg , respectively. Code J7620 is often called a “DuoNeb” because the nebulizing product is a combination of two medication agents. For higher doses, if supported by medical necessity, you may report J7620 x 2 (or more).
Inhalation treatment (94640 Pressurized or nonpressurized inhalation treatment for acute airway obstruction or for sputum induction for diagnostic purposes (eg, with an aerosol generator, nebulizer, metered dose inhaler or intermittent positive pressure breathing [IPPB] device)) ‒ This is the component of treatment that potentially improves the patient’s condition, or even eliminates ongoing symptoms.
Other drugs represented by HCPCS Level II codes J7604-J7685, popularly known as Accuneb®, Xopenex®, Proventil®, Brethine®, Azmacort®, and other brands or market labels, may be administered.
Oxygen saturation (O2Sat) (94760 Noninvasive ear or pulse oximetry for oxygen saturation; single determination) ‒ An O2Sat is routinely performed as a preliminary step to assess a patient’s condition. Even a persistent cough with no definitive diagnosis may justify a separately billable O2Sat. Based on the results of the O2Sat, the physician may decide the patient warrants further (possibly immediate) services, such as inhalation treatment. Although this code does not create a Column 2 National Correct Coding Initiative edit, some payers may want modifier 59 Distinct procedural service appended to the secondary procedure.
Office visit (99201-99215) ‒ The patient is examined to achieve a diagnosis and to conduct or prescribe a treatment plan. The doctor needs to listen to lung sounds and observe a variety of findings. When the provider performs other, separately coded procedures or services during the same encounter, you must append modifier 25 Significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service by the same physician or other qualified health care professional on the same day of the procedure or other service to the visit code. If the patient is scheduled solely for inhalation treatment, no office visit is reported.
Medication provided (e.g., J7613 Albuterol, inhalation solution, FDA-approved final product, non-compounded, administered through DME, unit dose, 1 mg, or J7620 Albuterol, up to 2.5 mg and ipratropium bromide, up to 0.5 mg, FDA-approved final product, non-compounded, administered through DME) ‒ When nebulizer treatment is provided, a medication is expended. Because the medication is dispensed in the doctor’s office (place of service code 11), the practice is allowed to bill for the drug separately.
