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.
How to Save on Your Pulmonary Function Test
Compare Cash Prices
Cash prices can be 50-80% lower than insurance rates. Always ask for the self-pay price before booking.
Consider Imaging Centers
Freestanding imaging centers often charge much less than hospitals for the same exact scan.
Submit to Insurance
Even if you pay cash, submit a claim. It still counts toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
