Pulmonology billing spans sleep medicine, COPD management, and critical care ventilator documentation — each with distinct coverage requirements. Sleep studies require documented AHI scores, Epworth scale data, and failed CPAP compliance data for diagnostic vs titration study selection. Pulmonary rehab (CPT 94625–94626) requires COPD severity (GOLD Stage 2+) and physician supervision documentation. MedSynthea's PA agent assembles complete sleep study PA packages including polysomnography reports and clinical sleep questionnaire data.
