The Billing Problem

Pulmonology Claims Are Uniquely Complex
Most Billing Teams Fail Them

Pulmonologists manage some of the most technically coded procedures in all of medicine. Pulmonary function testing, sleep medicine, bronchoscopy, and ICU critical care coding each require specialist-level expertise. Without it, you lose revenue silently — claim after claim.

📋

PFT Coding Errors

Pulmonary function test codes (94010–94762) are frequently miscoded, missing bundling rules or required spirometry components.

😴

Sleep Study Denials

Sleep medicine billing (95782–95811) faces high denial rates due to missing prior auth, incorrect type-of-service codes, or HST vs PSG confusion.

🔬

Bronchoscopy Undercoding

Bronchoscopy procedures (31622–31656) are among the most undercoded in medicine — ancillary services and add-on codes routinely missed.

🏥

Critical Care Complexity

ICU and critical care time-based billing (99291–99292) requires precise time documentation — incorrect coding leaves thousands uncollected daily.

⚠️

Pulmonology Denial Problem

Most pulmonology practices don't realize how much revenue they're silently losing to preventable billing errors every month.

Why It Matters

A practice seeing 400 pulmonology patients per month losing 15% of revenue to coding errors = $180,000+ per year left uncollected.

How We Code Your Most Complex Pulmonology Procedures

These three areas generate the most revenue for pulmonologists — and carry the highest coding error rates with generalist billing teams. Here's exactly what we do differently.

🌬️

Pulmonary Function Testing

PFT billing covers a complex range of codes from simple spirometry to full body plethysmography. Most billing errors occur in component bundling and medical necessity documentation.

  • 94010–94762 mastery — complete spirometry, lung volumes, DLCO, MVV, and exercise testing coded to maximum specificity with all billable components captured
  • Bronchodilator testing add-ons — proper billing for pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry with 94060 add-on code applied where eligible
  • Oximetry & exercise testing — 94761 pulse oximetry and 94620/94621 pulmonary stress testing billed with correct E/M linkage
  • Medical necessity validation — diagnosis code pairing optimized to satisfy every payer's LCD criteria for pulmonary function testing coverage

Sleep Medicine & Sleep Studies

Sleep medicine billing is the #1 source of pulmonology denials — prior auth failures, incorrect study type coding, and CPAP follow-up billing errors drain revenue daily.

  • PSG vs HST differentiation — correct selection between attended polysomnography (95810–95811) and unattended home sleep testing (G0399, G0400) per payer policy
  • Prior authorization management — proactive prior auth submission with payer-specific clinical criteria documentation to eliminate auth-related denials
  • CPAP initiation & follow-up — ongoing CPAP compliance visit billing with proper 94660 and E/M codes, and CPAP equipment billing coordination
  • MSLT and MWT testing — multiple sleep latency and maintenance of wakefulness test billing with correct diagnosis linkage for narcolepsy workups

Critical Care & ICU Billing

Critical care billing is time-based and unforgiving — a few minutes miscalculated means a lower E/M level, and concurrent care rules are frequently violated, creating costly audit exposure.

  • Time-based documentation review — verifying that provider documentation supports the critical care time claimed for 99291 (30–74 min) and 99292 add-on units
  • Mechanical ventilation billing — 94002 (initial) and 94003 (subsequent day) ventilator management coding with appropriate E/M coordination and concurrent care modifier application
  • Concurrent care billing rules — proper modifier usage when multiple critical care providers are billing on the same date for the same patient
  • Procedure bundling compliance — ensuring separately billable procedures are properly unbundled from critical care time with correct modifiers and documentation
