Ambient Consultation Notes
Eluve listens to your patient encounter and generates structured pulmonology notes — history of presenting illness, lung exam findings, PFT interpretation, assessment, and treatment plan — without you typing a word.
Auto Billing & Coding
CPT codes for spirometry (94010, 94060), DLCO (94729), bronchoscopy (31622–31625), and E/M levels are suggested automatically based on encounter complexity. Each suggestion includes supporting documentation for audit readiness.
Procedure Note Templates
Bronchoscopy reports, thoracentesis notes, and PFT interpretation summaries are generated from the encounter with findings, specimens collected, complications, and follow-up plans pre-filled.
Care Plans & Disease Management
Structured care plans for COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary hypertension are generated from the encounter — including GOLD staging, controller adjustments, oxygen titration, and pulmonary rehab referrals.
Referral Letter Generation
Letters to thoracic surgery, oncology, sleep medicine, and other specialists are drafted automatically from the consultation — including PFT results, imaging findings, and clinical rationale for referral.
Medication & Inhaler Summaries
Inhaler changes, nebulizer prescriptions, biologic therapies, and oxygen adjustments discussed during the visit are captured automatically. Generates patient-friendly summaries with technique reminders and device instructions.

How a pulmonology visit works with Eluve
Patient context at your fingertips
Eluve pulls together the patient's recent PFT trends, imaging results, current inhaler regimen, oxygen requirements, and prior procedure reports into a concise pre-visit brief. No more flipping between the PFT lab, radiology, and the chart — you're ready before the patient walks in.
You listen to lungs, Eluve documents
Focus entirely on your patient — the respiratory history, lung auscultation, and treatment discussion. Eluve captures the conversation in the background and generates structured consultation notes, flags relevant ICD-10 codes like J44.1 for COPD exacerbation or J84.10 for pulmonary fibrosis, and identifies applicable billing codes. Whether it's a quick dyspnea follow-up or a complex interstitial lung disease workup, the documentation matches the encounter.
Notes, referrals, procedure reports — done
Review your finished consultation note, generate referral letters to thoracic surgery or sleep medicine, finalize procedure reports for bronchoscopies or thoracenteses, update COPD action plans, and send patient-friendly visit summaries — all from the same encounter. Billing codes including modifier -25 for same-day E/M with PFTs are pre-filled. Sign off in under a minute.
Better notes mean fewer denied claims and less unpaid work
Pulmonology has an 18% claim denial rate — nearly double the average. The gap isn't in the clinical work, it's in the documentation. Eluve closes that gap.
More
complete documentation per visit
When the ambient scribe captures the full encounter — every condition addressed, every clinical decision, every procedure — your documentation supports the true complexity of each visit without extra work.
Fewer
denied claims
Documentation that captures the clinical reasoning, medical necessity, and payer-specific detail from the start means fewer gaps for payers to deny on — and less time spent on appeals.
2x
More diagnoses captured per visit
When documentation captures every condition discussed — not just the chief complaint — practices see significantly more complete problem lists and higher-accuracy coding across COPD, asthma, and comorbidities.
3 hrs
Saved per clinician per day
Less time on notes, PFT interpretations, procedure reports, and coding means you leave the clinic on time — or see the extra patients backing up your schedule.
If you ever get audited, your notes are ready
Pulmonary testing, oxygen prescriptions, and procedure documentation face heavy scrutiny from payers. Eluve structures every note to hold up under review.
PFT Documentation Standards
Eluve ensures PFT interpretations include all required elements — test quality grading, numeric values with percent predicted, severity classification, clinical correlation, and bronchodilator response assessment — so your reports meet payer and accreditation standards.
Procedure Report Completeness
Bronchoscopy and thoracentesis reports are generated with indication, technique, findings, specimens, complications, and post-procedure plan — every element auditors check for.
Oxygen Qualification Documentation
Home oxygen claims are one of the most audited items in pulmonology. Eluve documents the qualifying SpO2 or PaO2, testing conditions, and face-to-face encounter details that CMS requires.
Modifier and Bundling Compliance
Eluve flags modifier -25 for same-day E/M and PFTs, prevents unbundling of imaging guidance in thoracentesis, and ensures DLCO is billed with required companion codes.
HIPAA-Compliant by Default
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Eluve is SOC 2 Type II certified and operates under a BAA with every practice. Your patient data is never used to train AI models.

Pulmonology Consultation Note
Reason for Consultation
Referred by Dr. Martinez (primary care) for evaluation of chronic cough and abnormal CT chest findings suggestive of interstitial lung disease.
History of Present Illness
55-year-old female presenting with progressive dry cough for 8 months and exertional dyspnea (mMRC grade 2). Cough is non-productive, worse at night and with exertion. No hemoptysis, wheezing, or orthopnea. Denies GERD symptoms, post-nasal drip, or ACE inhibitor use. No fevers, weight loss, or night sweats. No known occupational exposures — works as a school teacher. No pet birds. Never smoker. Family history notable for mother with rheumatoid arthritis. No personal history of autoimmune disease. Prior workup by PCP: CXR showed bilateral reticular opacities. CT chest (high-resolution) demonstrated bilateral peripheral predominant ground-glass opacities with traction bronchiectasis, basal predominant. Subpleural sparing noted.
Examination
SpO2 96% at rest, 89% after 6-minute walk test (walked 380m). RR 16. BP 124/78. Respiratory: Fine bibasilar inspiratory crackles (Velcro-like) extending to mid-lung fields. No wheezes or rhonchi. Musculoskeletal: No joint swelling, no mechanic's hands, no Raynaud phenomenon. Skin: No rash. No digital clubbing. Cardiovascular: Regular rate and rhythm, no elevated JVP, no peripheral edema.
Review of Outside Studies
HRCT Chest: Bilateral peripheral predominant ground-glass opacities with superimposed fine reticulation and traction bronchiectasis. Basal and posterior predominance. Subpleural sparing present. Pattern most consistent with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) vs. early usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP).
Assessment
1. Interstitial lung disease, unclassified (J84.9) — HRCT pattern not definitively UIP; NSIP vs. UIP to be determined. Family history of autoimmune disease raises concern for connective tissue disease-associated ILD. 2. Exertional hypoxemia — desaturated to 89% on 6-minute walk 3. Chronic dry cough — likely secondary to ILD
Plan
1. Complete PFTs with DLCO, lung volumes — assess restrictive pattern and gas exchange 2. Autoimmune serologies: ANA, RF, anti-CCP, myositis panel, anti-SSA/SSB, anti-Scl-70 3. CBC, CMP, ESR, CRP, BNP 4. 6-minute walk test with continuous oximetry (formal protocol) 5. Multidisciplinary ILD conference discussion with radiology and pathology 6. Consider surgical lung biopsy (VATS) if serologies and PFTs do not clarify diagnosis 7. Ambulatory oxygen for exertion — prescribe 2L NC with activity pending formal titration 8. Avoid empiric steroids until diagnosis is clarified 9. Return in 3 weeks with lab results and PFTs for treatment discussion 10. Rheumatology referral if serologies positive
