About Physical Performance Test
CPT code 97750 refers to physical performance test (billing description: "Physical performance test"). Under the 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, it is reimbursed at $34 in a facility (hospital or surgery center) and $34 in a doctor's office.
The Medicare rate is the closest thing to an objective "what this work is actually worth." A fair cash price for the uninsured is generally 1.5–3x that rate. Hospital sticker (gross) charges are often far higher — but almost nobody actually pays them.
