The problem with generalist billers
Don't hire a biller that's learning pulmonology on your claims
To most billing companies, your practice is one of forty specialties on a menu. The same team that posted dermatology payments this morning is coding your bronchoscopies this afternoon — and the denials show it.
None of this is bad luck. It's what happens when the people handling your revenue don't know the difference between 94010 and 94060 — or why it matters.
PFT claims denied because the signed interpretation report never made it to the payer.
Bronchoscopy codes bundled under NCCI edits and written off instead of appealed.
Sleep studies performed before anyone confirmed the prior authorization.
Pulmonary rehab sessions exceeding Medicare's limits because nobody was counting.
What your biller must handle
Test every quote against the procedures that run your practice
Pulmonology billing fails procedure by procedure, each in its own way. Put every proposal you receive through these six.
Pulmonary function testing
Demand a workflow that confirms the signed interpretation is on file before the claim goes out.
Bronchoscopy & interventional
Demand NCCI bundling review on every multi-procedure session, before submission.
Sleep studies & sleep medicine
Demand prior auth confirmed before the study, and modifier 26 handled for lab reads.
Pulmonary rehabilitation
Demand tracking of Medicare's session limits and COPD documentation requirements.
Critical care & inpatient
Demand charge capture that follows your notes across sites.
Thoracentesis & pleural
Demand documentation discipline on the imaging-guidance distinction that decides the code.

Pulmonology billing, answered directly
What does a pulmonology billing service cost?
Most pulmonology billing services charge a percentage of monthly collections — across the industry, typically between 4% and 9% depending on practice size and claim volume. Getting more than one quote is the only reliable way to know where your practice should land.
Why do pulmonology claims get denied more than other specialties?
Pulmonology combines high-documentation diagnostics, procedures subject to NCCI bundling edits, and services that need prior authorization. Each is a distinct failure point that generalist billers routinely miss.
Is this free? What happens when I submit?
Free for practices, no obligation. Up to five medical billing providers will contact you with competitive quotes, typically within one business day — you compare and choose, or walk away.
Is this site only about pulmonology?
Yes — pulmonology and sleep medicine billing exclusively. Every guide, checklist, and comparison criterion is built around one specialty's procedures, payers, and denial patterns.
