Pulmonology billing requires precision, specialty knowledge, and strict adherence to payer rules. From pulmonary consultations and diagnostic testing to chronic respiratory disease management, every service must be coded and billed accurately to avoid denials and delayed payments. With frequent updates to pulmonology CPT codes and evolving payer requirements, billing errors can quickly impact revenue.

These checkpoints summarize published CMS guidance for pulmonology claims. The payer’s policy and the rule in effect for the date of service always apply.
Medicare Part B covers pulmonary rehabilitation for moderate to very severe COPD when the physician treating the chronic respiratory disease makes the referral.
Part B pays for pulmonary rehabilitation in a physician office or a hospital outpatient setting, with a practitioner immediately available for consultations and emergencies.
The pulmonary rehabilitation treatment plan must describe diagnosis, services, and goals, and a physician must establish, review, and sign it at regular intervals.
Initial home oxygen claims for hypoxemic patients must rest on a clinical test that the treating practitioner has ordered and evaluated.
When arterial blood gas and oximetry results conflict in documenting the need for home oxygen, the arterial blood gas study is the preferred source.
For home oxygen qualifying tests, a durable medical equipment supplier is not considered a qualified provider or supplier of laboratory services.
