    The Challenge

    Pulmonology Revenue Gets Lost in the Details

    Pulmonary medicine combines diagnostic testing, chronic disease management and procedural intervention into a single billing workflow, and each category carries its own rules. Most denials trace back to one of five pressure points.

    Procedure Complexity

    PFT, bronchoscopy and pulmonary rehab each carry their own documentation and bundling rules. Generalist coders misapply them constantly.

    Payer-Specific Coverage

    Medicare, Medicaid and commercial plans set different coverage thresholds for spirometry, pulmonary rehab and respiratory DME. What one plan covers without questions, another denies on first pass.

    Documentation Gaps

    Spirometry values, bronchoscopy findings, and procedure notes have to directly support the codes you bill. Incomplete medical necessity documentation is the leading cause of pulmonology claim denials.

    Prior Authorization Friction

    Pulmonary rehab programs, advanced bronchoscopy procedures and high-cost respiratory biologics frequently require prior auth, a leading cause of avoidable denials.

    A/R Delays

    Unworked denials age quickly against strict timely-filing and appeal windows, compounding revenue loss month over month.

    Full Revenue Cycle Coverage

    Pulmonology Revenue Cycle Management, From Intake to Payment

    Most denials originate before a claim is ever filed. Revix MD owns both halves of the cycle together, not as two disconnected vendors.

    Benefits verification, including DME coverage tied to respiratory equipment

    Prior authorization support for pulmonary rehab programs, respiratory biologics and advanced bronchoscopy procedures

    Patient registration accuracy to prevent downstream rejections

    Payer-specific requirement tracking across commercial and federal plans

    Back-End RCM

    After the claim goes out

    Specialty-trained coding across PFT, bronchoscopy and respiratory DME code sets

    Clean claim submission with payer-specific edits applied pre-submission

    Specialty Services

    Built Around Every Major Pulmonary Procedure and Code Set

    As a dedicated pulmonary function test billing company and respiratory billing partner, our coding depth runs across every major pulmonary service line, not a generic specialty checklist.

    CPT 94010–94799

    Pulmonary Function Test Billing

    Accurate billing for pulmonary function tests and spirometry, including pre- and post-bronchodilator testing. We correctly split and append Professional and Technical components (Modifier 26 and Modifier TC) for split-billing environments, so you’re fully reimbursed for both technical throughput and physician interpretation.

    CPT 31622–31645

    Bronchoscopy Billing Services

    Coding support for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, biopsy components and add-on codes. Our coders check every bronchoscopy claim against NCCI edit pairs before submission, apply multiple-procedure modifiers correctly for multi-lesion biopsies, and catch the unbundling errors that trigger rejections.

    DME & NCD 240.2

    Respiratory Equipment & Oxygen Therapy Billing

    We support Medicare oxygen therapy and respiratory equipment billing by reviewing qualifying test results, medical necessity documentation, HCPCS codes, and applicable DME coverage requirements. Our team checks payer-specific rules and supporting records before claim submission.

    CPT 94625 & 94626

    Pulmonary Rehabilitation Billing Services

    We support pulmonary rehabilitation billing for outpatient programs, including eligibility checks, authorization requirements, session documentation, claim submission, and denial follow-up. Our billing team reviews applicable CPT codes, Medicare coverage criteria, and payer-specific requirements to help practices identify preventable claim issues.

    ICD-10 J00–J99

    Chronic Respiratory Disease Billing: COPD and Asthma

    Reimbursement support for chronic respiratory disease populations. We protect your practice from audit triggers on COPD (ICD-10 J44.0 through J44.9) and asthma (ICD-10 J45.20 through J45.998) claims through precise severity documentation. E/M levels stay aligned with the complexity of concurrent clinical testing, which is where most severity-based undercoding happens.

    Sleep Medicine Billing

    A lot of pulmonology practices run their own sleep labs. We handle that billing through a dedicated service line built for polysomnography coding, CPAP/BiPAP authorization and Medicare compliance tracking.

    Choosing a Pulmonology Billing Company

    What to Look for in a Pulmonology Billing Company

    When choosing a pulmonology billing company, look for experience with pulmonary procedure coding, payer-specific authorization requirements, and denial management. Ask how the team handles aging A/R, tracks underpayments, and reports billing performance. The right partner should also work within your existing EHR and provide clear visibility into collections.

    Regulatory & Coding Authority

    Governed by Absolute Clinical Precision

    Our billing team reviews Medicare pulmonary rehabilitation requirements, including eligible services, session documentation, applicable CPT codes, and payer-specific coverage policies. We also monitor documentation and coding requirements for pulmonary function testing, bronchoscopy, and respiratory equipment claims.

    ICD-10 J00–J99

    Pulmonary Rehabilitation Billing Services

    Pulmonary rehabilitation billing requires careful review of eligibility, referrals, service duration, session tracking, and payer-specific medical necessity rules. Our team reviews claim coding for outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation, including CPT 94625 and 94626 where applicable, and follows up on denials tied to documentation, coverage, or session limits. We check current Medicare contractor and commercial payer guidance before claims are submitted.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Pulmonology billing covers the full revenue cycle as one workflow, not two disconnected halves. That means eligibility verification, prior authorizations for pulmonary rehab and respiratory biologics, PFT and bronchoscopy coding, clean claim submission, denial management and payment posting.

    PFT billing means managing pre- and post-bronchodilator testing and correctly split-billing technical and professional components with Modifier 26 and Modifier TC across CPT 94010–94799. Generalist teams frequently misapply or bundle these codes, leading to underpayment or audits.

    Bronchoscopy billing primarily uses CPT 31622-31645. Accurate reimbursement depends on differentiating diagnostic versus therapeutic procedures, capturing surgical biopsy components, and applying multiple-procedure modifiers correctly to avoid compliance risk and improper unbundling rejections.

    Oxygen therapy billing requires specific HCPCS codes (E0424–E0466, E0601, E0470, E1390) and is governed by capped rental rules and the 36-month oxygen equipment ceiling. Claims are rejected without a verified Certificate of Medical Necessity from initial setup.

    Incomplete documentation for medical necessity is the biggest one. After that, missing prior authorizations for pulmonary rehab and respiratory biologics, unbundling errors across overlapping CPT ranges, and payer-specific session limits for rehab claims that go untracked until the denial shows up 60 days later.

    Modifier 25 applies when a physician performs a separately identifiable E/M visit on the same day as a procedure, like an office visit on the same day as a PFT. Modifier 59 applies when two procedures that normally bundle were actually performed as distinct services, at different sites or during separate encounters. We review same-day claims before submission to apply the correct modifier and avoid automatic payer bundling edits.

    Revix MD offers percentage-based pulmonology medical billing pricing based on your practice size, monthly collections, payer mix, and service requirements. A monthly minimum applies, and onboarding costs depend on your existing software and integration needs.
