re: Pulmonary Medicine
I also code for Pulmonary. 9 times out of 10, I can find the National or Local Coverage determinations on CMS website for whatever it is I am trying to code. Such as, allowed units, modifiers needed and covered diagnosis.
http://www.cms.gov/medicare-coverage-database/indexes/ncd-alphabetical-index.aspx?bc=BAAAAAAAAAAA
I usually use the "advanced search" by code.
Good Luck!
