Pulmonology Billing Services

Maximize Revenue in Pulmonology Billing


Care​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ pulmonology billing encompasses critical care, in-office procedures, sleep medicine, and complex disease management. To correctly code the essential service of care, which is the most important, time must be documented very precisely (CPT 99291, 99292). In contrast, office procedures like bronchoscopies (CPT 31622, 31623), thoracentesis (CPT 32554), and pulmonary function tests (CPT 94010, 94729) have their own specific coding and bundling rules. Additional complexity is given by sleep studies and CPAP management (CPT 95810, 95811, HCPCS E0601).

Billing Care Solutions (BCS) is the answer to this complex, multifaceted specialty of a doctor's office with the correct time-based critical care coding, the proper use of procedure modifiers (‑59, -25), and the correct billing for sleep diagnostics and durable medical equipment. Such a strategy protects your practice against revenue loss while remaining compliant with the rules.
