Lung Volume Test (Body Plethysmography)

Virginia rates for HCPCS 94726

A breathing test that measures the total amount of air the lungs can hold, including air that remains after breathing out as much as possible, which a basic breathing test can't capture on its own. The patient sits inside a small enclosed booth and breathes through a mouthpiece while pressure changes are measured. It helps determine whether the lungs are abnormally large, small, or restricted in how much air they can hold.
