Pulmonology Billing Built Around Complex Respiratory Care

Every pulmonology claim depends on precise procedural coding, aggressive NCCI edit navigation, and flawless pre-authorization management. Our Pulmonology Billing Services control all these factors.

Diagnostic Testing & PFTs

Ensuring absolute accuracy when reporting spirometry, lung volumes, and diffusion capacity, correctly applying 26/TC modifiers.

Bronchoscopy & Surgical Coding

Properly coding complex endobronchial ultrasounds (EBUS), biopsies, and navigations while avoiding NCCI edit bundling.

Critical Care & Ventilator Management

Meticulous tracking of time-based critical care codes (99291, 99292) and subsequent ventilator management to secure high-acuity reimbursements.

Sleep Medicine Billing

Navigating complex coding guidelines for polysomnography (PSG), home sleep apnea tests (HSAT), and CPAP titration.

End-to-End Pulmonology Billing Services

We capture every billable treatment phase, ensure precise procedural coding, and keep claims compliant—so you get paid for the complete respiratory care you provide.

Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)

Expert claim submission for complete and partial PFTs, handling professional and technical component splits.

Bronchoscopy Procedures

Accurate billing for diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopies, transbronchial biopsies, and stent placements.

Sleep Apnea & Polysomnography

Detailed coding for overnight sleep studies and remote patient monitoring for CPAP compliance.

Asthma & COPD Management

Managing the documentation requirements for chronic care management (CCM) and respiratory treatments.

Critical & Intensive Care

Streamlined billing for critical care time, prolonged services, and complex inpatient pulmonary consults.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Specialized tracking for respiratory therapy, 6-minute walk tests, and smoking cessation counseling.

Addressing Real Challenges with Pulmonology Billing Services

Modifier 26 & TC Errors

Failing to split professional and technical components correctly leads to instant payment rejections. We audit every diagnostic line.

NCCI Edits & Bundling

Pulmonary procedures frequently overlap. We thoroughly navigate NCCI edits to prevent improper bundling of diagnostics with surgical interventions.

Pre-Auth Bottlenecks

High-end imaging, sleep studies, and invasive procedures require strict approvals. Our team manages portal authorizations to protect cash flow.

Time-Based Critical Care

Incorrectly logging critical care time or overlapping concurrent care leads to massive losses. We strictly audit intensive care documentation.

Complex Co-morbidities

Respiratory patients often have multiple conditions. We ensure ICD-10 coding reflects the highest level of specificity for accurate E/M leveling.

Front-Office Strain

Pulmonology teams are burdened with high patient volumes and complex authorizations, leaving billing errors uncorrected. We take over the entire revenue cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything from complex prior authorizations, precise pulmonary diagnostic coding (like PFTs and sleep studies), charge entry, claim submission, payment posting, and intensive accounts receivable follow-up.
We verify whether diagnostic tests (such as PFTs and sleep studies) are performed in-office or at independent locations, appending the correct modifier (26 for professional interpretation, TC for technical equipment use, or global if bundled) to ensure clean claims.
We carefully audit the documentation to verify that an Evaluation and Management (E/M) service was significant and separately identifiable from the minor procedure (e.g., a same-day spirometry or thoracentesis). Proper usage of Modifier 25 protects against bundling denials.
Yes, we strictly audit provider documentation for total critical care time spent (minimum 30 minutes) and appropriately bill for initial/subsequent ventilator management, avoiding overlapping E/M denials.
We utilize a dedicated pre-authorization team that works directly with payer portals and peer-to-peer review processes, ensuring that high-cost treatments, biologics for severe asthma, and polysomnography are fully approved before care begins.
Yes, our team is highly proficient in specialized platforms such as eClinicalWorks, Epic, AdvancedMD, and NextGen. We integrate seamlessly into your current workflows without requiring you to switch platforms.
