Pulmonology Associates

What Pulmonology Associates does

Pulmonology Associates is a private, physician-owned medical practice founded in 1981 that specializes in pulmonary medicine, critical care, and sleep disorder medicine. The practice operates four office locations across Wynnewood, Paoli, and Broomall in the greater Philadelphia area, staffed by 15 physicians (several holding FCCP credentials) and 5 advanced practitioners (CRNPs and PA-C). Its physicians serve as faculty of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Lankenau Medical Center and Paoli Memorial Hospital, providing both outpatient consultations and inpatient hospital-based pulmonary and critical care services.

The practice offers a comprehensive suite of clinical services including evaluation and management of COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, and pulmonary nodules; advanced interventional pulmonology procedures such as robotic navigational bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), Cellvizio confocal laser endomicroscopy, endobronchial stents, brachytherapy, argon laser, cryotherapy, and electrocautery; and AASM-accredited sleep medicine services including polysomnography, home sleep apnea testing, and PAP therapy. The practice also operates an NCI-funded Multidisciplinary Lung Cancer Center and participates in active clinical trials sponsored by NHLBI, Bristol Myers Squibb, Regeneron, Apple, Guardant Health, Natera, and others.

Revenue is generated through professional services billed to insurance payers (Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial), with additional ancillary revenue from clinical trial sponsorships and research grants. The practice's go-to-market is referral-driven, relying on primary care physician referrals, hospital-based consultations through Main Line Health affiliations, self-referred patients, telemedicine consultations, and its website for appointment scheduling. The practice accepts multiple insurance plans and offers patient assistance programs, but does not disclose enterprise-level contracts or subscription pricing.
