Answer: In January 2000, Medicare began bundling 94760 (noninvasive ear or pulse oximetry for oxygen saturation; single determination) and 94761 (... multiple determinations, [e.g., during exercise]) into any other services performed on the same date. Payment for these services will be made only if they are the only services performed. Since these are considered bundled, you should not bill the services to Medicare separately.
