CPT 94011: Pediatric Forced Expiratory Flow Measurement, Infants and Toddlers
CPT code 94011 represents a specialized pediatric pulmonary function test that measures forced expiratory flow in infants and children up to age 2. This procedure is clinically significant for early detection and quantification of airway obstruction, monitoring of lung disease progression, and assessment of therapeutic response in very young patients who cannot perform standard spirometry. Nationally, the test is important for pediatric pulmonology, neonatology, and respiratory therapy services when objective measures of airway function are required in non-cooperative or preverbal children.
Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise overview of the clinical purpose and typical care setting for the procedure, common modifiers used for billing, and which payers are commonly involved in reimbursement of pediatric pulmonary function testing. The publication highlights clinical context for use in infants and toddlers, clarifies the service type and usual site of service, and summarizes practical billing metadata relevant to revenue cycle and coding teams. Data not available in the input is noted where applicable.
