For pulmonology and sleep medicine groups
The operating layer that speaks pulmonology.
PFT scheduling. Sleep study prior auths. CPAP compliance. Post-visit coding. The back office of a pulmonology or sleep practice — handled quietly, in the background, so your clinicians can breathe.
Integrity Pulmonary Specialists
Pulmonology · Phoenix, AZ
Same four movements. Pulmonology vocabulary inside each.
The visit moves through the same four movements you’ll find on our homepage — before they walk in, in the room, after the room, long after the lights are off. Inside each movement, the work is specialty-tuned: PFT and bronch scheduling, sleep-study auths, CPAP compliance windows, GOLD-staged chronic care, sleep-study coding.
Below: the five workflows where the pulmonology day actually bends.
- No. 01
PFT and bronch scheduling
BeforePulmonary function tests, sleep consults, and bronchoscopies get scheduled across three calendars by memory. Prep instructions go out inconsistently, and no-show rates climb.
With SarthiSarthi sequences PFTs, sleep studies, and procedural visits by clinical urgency, pushes the right prep the right number of days out, and confirms until the patient lands.
- No. 02
Sleep study prior authorizations
BeforeHome sleep test vs. attended polysomnography auths each come with their own payer logic. Staff retype the same clinical story into five different portals.
With SarthiSarthi reads the chart, picks the right study type against the current payer policy, submits the auth, and appeals the denials that come back for documentation — not medical necessity.
- No. 03
CPAP compliance and resupply
BeforeNinety-day compliance windows slip past unreviewed. Resupply cadence gets lost. Downstream revenue walks out the door along with the patient’s adherence.
With SarthiSarthi pulls usage data from the DME, tracks compliance windows, schedules mask and supply refills on time, and flags patients falling out of adherence for a real conversation.
- No. 04
Chronic care — COPD, asthma, ILD
BeforeAnnual spirometry, GOLD staging updates, inhaler technique re-reviews — the kind of cadence that keeps a CHF-adjacent COPD patient out of the ED — lives in a staff member’s head.
With SarthiSarthi runs the disease-specific cadence for your chronic population, queues the right outreach, and lets a clinician intervene when the data says now.
- No. 05
Referral intake and records triage
BeforePCP referrals arrive with incomplete records. Hospital discharges show up on fax. Someone opens the envelope days later.
With SarthiSarthi ingests the inbound, extracts the relevant history, and schedules by clinical urgency — the shortness-of-breath work-up moves before the follow-up cough.
- No. 06
Coding, claims, and denial management
BeforeSleep-study coding (95807 / 95810) has its own nuance with HST vs. PSG; CPAP DME billing has its own claim flow; pulmonary-function-test billing carries quirky modifier rules. Denials arrive weeks later when context has gone cold, and the coordinator reconstructs the rationale from memory.
With SarthiSarthi codes the study against the documented clinical pathway, prepares the claim with payer-specific modifiers, ingests the ERA when it lands, routes denials with the supporting clinical history already pulled, and tracks A/R aging by payer and procedure type — not by guessing what got paid.
We meet your practice where it lives.
Sarthi integrates with the EHRs pulmonology practices actually use — Epic, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Practice Fusion — plus the sleep-lab, PFT, and DME systems that sit alongside them.
No rip-and-replace. No two-year implementation. A two-week observation phase, then a narrow rollout on the workflow that hurts most.
Let’s walk through a Tuesday at your practice, handled.
Thirty minutes. A shared screen. We’ll show you a pulmonology day — intake, auths, PFT and sleep scheduling, CPAP compliance, coding — run end-to-end by Sarthi, and we’ll answer any question you have about where the hand-offs to a clinician live.
