About Pulmonary Function Test

Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) measure how well your lungs work by assessing airflow, lung volume, and gas exchange. Spirometry, the most common PFT, measures how much air you can inhale and exhale and how quickly you can exhale. PFTs are used to diagnose asthma, COPD, and other lung conditions.

Understanding Your Bill

Basic spirometry is the least expensive PFT. A complete pulmonary function study with lung volumes and diffusion capacity costs more. Pre- and post-bronchodilator testing may add to the cost.
