Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance for pulmonology services?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. Contact our clinic or your insurance provider to verify coverage for specific services.
What is the difference between a pulmonologist and a primary care physician?
A pulmonologist is a specialist trained to diagnose and treat complex lung and breathing conditions. While your primary care provider can treat many mild respiratory illnesses, a pulmonologist is often recommended for chronic, severe or hard-to-manage lung issues.
When should I see a pulmonologist?
You may benefit from seeing a pulmonologist if you have:
-
Ongoing cough or wheezing
-
Shortness of breath
-
Frequent lung infections
-
Asthma or COPD that’s hard to control
-
Sleep apnea or other sleep-related breathing issues
Do you offer sleep apnea testing?
Yes. We provide both in-lab sleep studies and at-home sleep apnea testing options. Our team will help determine which is best based on your symptoms and medical history.
What is a pulmonary function test (PFT)?
A PFT measures how well your lungs are working. It can help diagnose asthma, COPD, or other lung diseases, and is often used to monitor disease progression or treatment effectiveness.
