Dastify Solutions fixes these issues at the claim level, before submission.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the most common causes of denials in pulmonology billing?
The most common causes include incorrect CPT coding (especially for spirometry and bronchoscopy), missing or insufficient documentation to support medical necessity, improper modifier use, and failure to follow payer-specific bundling and NCCI edit rules. Errors in CPAP compliance documentation and prior authorizations for sleep studies also frequently lead to denials.
2. How can pulmonology billing services improve reimbursement rates?
Specialized pulmonology billing services improve reimbursements by using AI-driven claim scrubbing, accurate coding for high-value procedures (e.g., PFTs, bronchoscopies, sleep studies), and payer-specific workflows. This ensures clean claim submission, reduces denials, and captures all billable services, leading to faster and more consistent payments.
3. Why is bundled billing a challenge in pulmonology medical billing?
Bundled billing is challenging because pulmonology procedures often fall under strict NCCI edit rules and global periods. Incorrect modifier usage or failure to separate billable services results in denied or underpaid claims. Proper handling of bundled services ensures compliance and accurate reimbursement for each procedure performed.
4. Why do pulmonology practices face higher denial rates?
Pulmonology billing is one of the most complex specialties due to the use of bundled services, frequent modifier usage, and strict payer compliance rules. Denials often occur because of:
- Incorrect coding for pulmonary function tests and bronchoscopies
- Missing prior authorization for CPAP/BiPAP or respiratory therapies
- Documentation gaps that fail payer-specific medical necessity requirements
- Misuse of modifiers in bundled procedures Outsourcing to pulmonology billing and coding experts helps prevent these denials before they happen.
