Official Description

Spectroscopy, expired gas analysis (eg, nitric oxide/carbon dioxide test)

© Copyright 2026 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

Common Language Description

The CPT® Code 0064T refers to a procedure known as spectroscopy, specifically focusing on expired gas analysis. This technique involves measuring the amount of light absorbed by specific gases, which allows for the analysis of their content in the patient's exhaled breath. One common application of this procedure is to detect the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) being exhaled during a breath test. By analyzing the light absorption characteristics of the gases present, healthcare professionals can gain valuable insights into respiratory function and metabolic processes. This non-invasive method is particularly useful in assessing conditions related to respiratory health and can aid in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary disorders.
