Pulmonology

CCM Software for Pulmonology Practices

Pulmonology practices manage chronic respiratory conditions that benefit from both ongoing care coordination and therapy-adherence tracking between visits. ChronicSync supports CCM care coordination alongside Remote Therapeutic Monitoring for respiratory therapy adherence.

The Challenge

Respiratory Conditions Are Managed Between Visits

Adherence to inhaler or respiratory therapy regimens, and early signs of a worsening condition, mostly happen outside the exam room — office-visit-only follow-up misses most of it.

Adherence Visibility

Therapy adherence over weeks matters more than a single in-office check-in.

Overlapping Chronic Conditions

COPD and asthma patients frequently also have cardiovascular or metabolic conditions relevant to CCM.

Separate Documentation Needs

CCM and RTM each have their own billing codes and documentation requirements to keep straight.

Programs

CCM and RTM for Pulmonology

RTM fits therapy-adherence and response tracking for a respiratory regimen. CCM fits ongoing chronic-condition coordination when a patient has two or more qualifying chronic conditions.

RTM for Respiratory Therapy Adherence

Track adherence and response data for a respiratory therapy regimen, with the care team able to review trends between visits.

CCM Alongside RTM

Patients with COPD or asthma plus another qualifying chronic condition may also be eligible for CCM care coordination, subject to current billing rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the patient and goal. CCM fits ongoing chronic-condition care coordination (for example, COPD plus a second chronic condition); RTM fits monitoring therapy adherence and response for musculoskeletal or respiratory therapy regimens. Many pulmonology practices use both for different patients.

No. ChronicSync organizes RTM therapy-adherence data and routes it to the care team; it does not assess inhaler technique, interpret symptoms, or make treatment recommendations — that remains the treating clinician's role.

Programs can potentially be combined, but there are rules against double-counting the same clinical time across services. Confirm current billing rules with your compliance team before enrolling a patient in more than one program.

Patient identification and eligibility review, consent and enrollment, a care plan with therapy goals, ongoing adherence data routed to the care team, documentation, and monthly billing preparation — see the workflow diagram above.

RTM uses its own set of CPT codes for device/program setup, data collection, and treatment-management time, separate from CCM's time-based codes. Review current CMS guidance and confirm specifics with your billing team before relying on any figure.
