Pulmonology Billing Challenges That Drain Revenue

Pulmonology billing requires precision in PFT coding, time-based therapy, and sleep study rules — errors lead to automatic denials.

Incorrect PFT Coding

Using 94010 without 94060 for bronchodilator response triggers bundling denials and 50–100% revenue loss.

Underbilled Inhalation Therapy

Failure to bill daily nebulizer treatments or instruction sessions results in $30–$150 lost per patient visit.

Sleep Study Documentation Gaps

Missing scoring or interpretation reports cause 100% denial of sleep study claims.

EMR-Billing Workflow Gaps

Charge capture delays result in missed or under-coded respiratory services.
