Pulmonology Medical Billing Services

Recent medical and technical developments have significantly improved the success of treatments in pulmonary practices. However, these advancements have also introduced more complex medical coding and billing requirements, making it crucial for practices to stay updated to ensure accurate reimbursements and compliance with evolving standards.

Revenue Risks in Pulmonology Billing

Pulmonology, being a high-cost medical field, faces substantial revenue losses when billing and coding errors occur. The complexity of ever-changing pulmonary billing codes increases the likelihood of errors. However, an experienced pulmonology billing team can minimize these mistakes and efficiently handle rejected or denied claims. In contrast, less experienced office staff may struggle to resolve complex claims in a timely manner, leading to significant financial losses.

Challenges Associated with Pulmonology Billing

Complications Start With Scheduling

Pulmonology billing challenges often begin at the scheduling phase. Verifying insurance coverage and meeting payer requirements are critical initial steps. Rescheduling is also common in pulmonology, as appointments often depend on coordination with other specialists, hospital procedures, and recurring annual processes. Tracking and managing these complexities is essential to prevent billing errors and ensure proper reimbursement.

Seasonal Services Must Be Part Of The Cycle

Flu shots, vaccines and other preventive practices that need to occur on a seasonal or annual basis have to be tracked and scheduled, adding another set of coverage and coding questions that have to be addressed.

High-Loss Claims

In general medical practice, there may be hundreds of patients through the doors daily, resulting in an enormous number of low-dollar claims being filed daily, but in pulmonology billing, examinations and treatments are of a different, more in-depth, and time-consuming, nature. A physician may see 10 or 15 people on a normal day, meaning the loss of revenue for a single unpaid claim can be substantial.

 

Complicated Procedures And Treatments Involve Complex Coding

An important part of coding is the modifiers, which are required to give the pertinent details needed to be reimbursed for all services delivered. Inexperienced coders can look up the general code for a procedure, but often do not know how many levels they need to go down and all the numerically-coded details that need to be added.
