Challenges in Pulmonary Billing

Pulmonary billing procedures and treatments have numerous unique challenges that need experts’ help.

  • Accurate documentation and coding are crucial for successful billing reimbursement. Unique coding are needed, which often receive regulatory updates and changes. Documents related to the patient’s history and medical treatment must be filed accurately.
  • Pulmonary disorders require special diagnosing tools and complicated treatments that are not covered by general insurance. Inaccurate documents or faulty codes can result in claim denial, which affects the specialists’ and their practice financial stability.

Advantages of Partnering with Pulmonary Billing Experts

● Experts know the field requirements in pulmonary billing, so they reduce billing errors by filling in accurate coding with document completion and following the exact regulations to enhance billing efficiency.

● Expert management follows up on the process and reduces denial errors, resulting in adequate revenue flow and increasing the reimbursement rates. They stay up-to-date with regulatory changes, and help achieve peace of mind by ensuring their billing matters are in the professional’s hands.

● Experts’ proactive approach ensures complete compliance with healthcare regulations, which minimizes the chances of costly billing errors. Both healthcare providers and billing services focus on revenue optimization to enhance their annual collections.

Patient Eligibility Verification and Authorization

The first step involves verifying the patient’s eligibility for pulmonary services. Billing management evaluates the insurance policy and contacts providers for real-time verifications. The need for prior authorization is also assessed, and experts collect all required documents for authorization approval. Record forms and applications are collected at this stage and attached to the claim application.

Accurate Claim Submission

Experts perform pre-audits of all available documents and information. They ensure accurate ICD-10 codes and recheck all clinical documents to justify medical services. The CPT codes refer to special pulmonary services, such as expensive diagnostic tests or specialist consultations. After verification, most claims are submitted through an electronic platform, which helps in timely submission and prevents manual errors.
Denial Management and Resolution
Electronic platforms allow continuous assessment of claims submissions and highlight denials promptly for proactive strategies to resolve them. Billing management utilizes denial reports to understand the reasons behind rejection, which could be the absence of prior authorization, lack of documents, or error in coding. After knowing the exact cause, the objection is resolved by providing the required information, and a re-appeal letter is submitted to clear the claims.
Accounts Receivable Optimization
Manage the receivable accounts by generating aging reports, which help identify account management's follow-up efforts. Use the KPI tracking method to evaluate the overall performance and rate of debt collections in accounts receivable. Conduct periodic staff training to enhance their efficiency in recovering AR issues and use data analytical tools to know the current trends of the market. Prepare flexible negotiation terms to resolve the payment issues positively and increase the reimbursement rate.

Prior Authorization Hurdles


Increasingly, California payers require prior authorizations for DME, orthotics, skin grafts, and advanced wound care procedures. Failure leads to non-payment.

Complex Wound Care & Skin Graft Billing

Podiatrists collaborating with wound care centers for diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, or limb salvage procedures face frequent denials related to skin substitute grafts (e.g., Apligraf®, Dermagraft®) and advanced wound treatments like NPWT (vacuum therapy).

Medi-Cal limits podiatry services unless directly related to chronic disease management. Denials are common without proper coding and documentation.

Routine Foot Care Scrutiny

California insurers, including Medi-Cal and major HMOs (Kaiser, Blue Shield CA), often classify foot care (like nail debridement and callus removal) as non-covered unless medically justified by conditions like diabetes or peripheral vascular disease.
