Pulmonology medical billing requires high accuracy and expertise for proper documentation, coding, and submission of claims. Our pulmonology billing solutions will help handle all the complexities of your practice, right from diagnostic codes to compliance with CMS guidelines. Our focus on accurate pulmonology billing can help minimize claim denials, improve collections, and sustain the financial health of your practice.
Medical advancements have brought tremendous improvements to pulmonology practices, but they have also created complex medical coding and billing challenges. Pulmonology medical billing requires precision to ensure accurate documentation and reimbursement for services. The intricate nature of pulmonary billing codes means that errors can lead to significant revenue losses. A skilled pulmonology billing team can reduce these errors and efficiently address denied or rejected claims, unlike inexperienced office staff who may struggle with resolving complex cases on time.
Pulmonology billing starts even before treatment; it begins with the critical scheduling process. Insurance coverage and payer requirements must be verified to avoid delays in reimbursement. Pulmonology practices often face the added complexity of rescheduling appointments to align with specialists, hospital procedures, and recurring annual processes. Seasonal services like flu shots and vaccines further complicate billing, requiring careful tracking and coding to ensure proper payment.
In pulmonology, every claim matter because the value of treatments and procedures is so high. Unlike general medical practices, which have hundreds of low-value claims filed daily, pulmonology billing involves fewer claims but with a much greater financial impact. One unpaid claim can have a huge effect on a practice’s revenue, making it crucial that claims are submitted accurately and timely.
Pulmonology requires very detailed coding for any medical billing because the treatment process is so complex and is considered an advanced procedure. Proper use of modifiers should be used to obtain complete reimbursement for services provided. Inexperienced coders may miss important details or not apply the proper level of coding, resulting in denials, delays, and underpayments that hurt the revenue stream of a practice.
Our expert coders are fluent with pulmonology medical billing. We use our expertise in coding for complex procedures to ensure accurate reimbursements and compliance. Our team is proficient in handling the unique coding requirements of pulmonology practices, ensuring all claims are submitted with the highest accuracy. Below are some of the commonly used CPT codes in pulmonology procedures that our experts are skilled in managing:
CPT 31622: Used when only a diagnostic bronchoscopy is performed.
CPT 31625: Used for a biopsy performed in conjunction with a bronchoscopy.
CPT 31628: Refers to bronchoscopy with a transbronchial lung biopsy, which is an advanced diagnostic procedure.
CPT 31635: Refers to bronchoscopic cryotherapy procedures.
CPT 94010: Used for basic spirometry to measure lung function.
CPT 94060: Refers to spirometry performed before and after the administration of a bronchodilator.
CPT 94726: Refers to lung volume measurements by plethysmography or gas dilution.
CPT 94729: It refers to the measurement of carbon monoxide diffusion capacity of lungs (DLCO).
