Pulmonary Billing & Coding Services Built for Revenue, Accuracy, and Compliance

Pulmonary medicine involves highly specialized services that demand precise documentation, correct coding, and strict adherence to payer guidelines. From diagnostic testing and chronic disease management to hospital rounds and consult services, pulmonary practices face some of the most complex billing and reimbursement challenges in healthcare.

Critical Care Coding FAQs

What qualifies as critical care for billing purposes?

Critical care qualifies when a physician provides direct care to a patient with life-threatening or organ-failure conditions requiring constant attention, supported by detailed documentation and time tracking.

How do you bill for critical care time accurately?

Critical care is billed using time-based CPT codes. We validate documented time, remove bundled procedures, ensure no overlap between providers, and confirm medical necessity before claim submission.

What causes critical care billing denials most often?

Common causes include missing time statements, insufficient documentation, overlapping provider time, incorrect bundling, and lack of medical necessity documentation.

Do you handle pulmonary physicians who also provide critical care?

Yes. We specialize in pulmonary-critical care overlap and ensure pulmonary services and critical care services are coded separately and compliantly.

Can Pulmocare RCM work with ICU teams and hospitalists?

Yes. We support ICU physicians, hospitalists, pulmonary-critical care specialists, and inpatient care teams nationwide.

How fast are critical care claims submitted?

Most critical care claims are submitted within 24–48 hours after complete documentation is received.

Is Pulmocare RCM HIPAA compliant?

Yes. We follow strict HIPAA standards, including encrypted data handling, role-based access, secure systems, and regular audits.

Can critical care coding outsourcing increase revenue?

Yes. Practices typically see 20–40% revenue improvement by preventing underbilling, reducing denials, and ensuring compliant time-based billing.
