Yes, similar to cardiac rehab, pulmonary rehab is billed as a physician service and is not included in home health consolidated billing.  So, there’s no billing requirement that would prevent a patient from receiving both services simultaneously.

Do any of you know if someone can be on a home health episode with medicare and also get outpatient pulmonary rehab at the same time and bill medicare for that?  I think we have come across cardiac rehab and been able to, but wasn’t sure about pulmonary rehab.  Thanks for any help!
