We handle pulmonology billing end to end, office visits, pulmonary function testing, sleep studies, bronchoscopy, and critical care. Because pulmonology mixes component-based diagnostics with time-based critical care, a specialty-trained team is what keeps reimbursement complete and denials low.

Pulmonology billing we handle

  • Pulmonary function tests (PFTs). 94010, 94060, and related with correct components.
  • Sleep studies. In-lab and home sleep testing with correct codes and interpretation.
  • Bronchoscopy. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with correct bundling.
  • EBUS & advanced bronchoscopy. Endobronchial ultrasound and navigational bronchoscopy with correct add-on coding.
  • Thoracentesis & pleural procedures. Thoracentesis, chest-tube placement, and pleural drainage.
  • Pulmonary rehabilitation. 94625 and 94626 sessions coded correctly.
  • CPAP & home oxygen. Device management, DME setup, and home-oxygen certification.
  • Critical care. 99291/99292 with accurate time reporting.
  • E/M & chronic care. Office visits and management of COPD, asthma, and complex patients.
  • Prior authorization. For sleep studies and advanced diagnostics where required.
Two coding worlds. Pulmonology bills component-based diagnostics (PFTs, sleep studies) and time-based critical care in the same practice. Mixing up their rules, or under-reporting critical-care time, is a frequent, costly error we prevent.

Why pulmonology practices lose revenue

The usual losses: PFT component errors, sleep-study coding and authorization gaps, bronchoscopy bundling mistakes, and under-reported critical-care time. Pulmonology-trained coders handle each correctly.

Pulmonology billing FAQs

Do you code PFTs and sleep studies?

Yes. Pulmonary function tests (94010, 94060, etc.) and in-lab or home sleep studies are coded with correct components and interpretation, and we obtain prior authorization where required.

Do you handle critical care billing?

Yes. Critical care (99291/99292) is time-based and heavily scrutinized; we ensure the time and documentation support the codes billed.

Can you bill bronchoscopy?

Yes, diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy with correct code selection and bundling edits.

How soon will results show?

Most pulmonology practices see cleaner diagnostic and critical-care claims within the first billing cycle.
