Spirometry/Pft Physical, Comprehensive Health Services Cost Comparison

588001 (HCPCS)

Spirometry is a breathing test that measures how much air your lungs can hold and how quickly you can breathe air in and out. Your doctor might order this test if you have symptoms like shortness of breath, chronic cough, or wheezing, or to monitor conditions like asthma or emphysema. During the test, you'll breathe into a machine called a spirometer several times while seated, and the results help your healthcare provider assess how well your lungs are working.
