The right AI platform can unlock transformative returns across cost savings, time efficiency, care quality, and clinic scalability.
Why ROI Matters in Pulmonology
Pulmonologists are tasked with managing complex chronic conditions—like COPD, asthma, and interstitial lung disease—which require ongoing patient monitoring, device data analysis, and coordination across visits. That means more time spent on:
- Pre-visit chart prep
- Device data uploads and interpretation (e.g., spirometry, CPAP, oxygen monitoring)
- Prior authorizations and payer documentation
- Referral intake and communication with PCPs
Every minute spent on admin work is a minute less spent with patients. AI offers a path to reclaim that time and boost margins.
Core ROI Drivers of AI in Pulmonology Clinics
- Staffing Efficiency
AI co-workers can take on 10–20 hours per week of administrative tasks for every full-time equivalent (FTE). That can reduce hiring needs or offset turnover costs. - Reduced Denials and Delays
Accurate prior auth submissions, timely fax follow-ups, and consistent charting improve compliance and reduce payer rework—saving up to $30,000 annually per provider. - Faster Throughput
With chart prep and order management handled by AI, clinics can increase visit capacity by 10–20% without increasing staff headcount. - Improved Provider Satisfaction
Less after-hours documentation and inbox fatigue reduces burnout and extends provider retention, a major cost center for specialty clinics. - Device Data Optimization
AI can retrieve, summarize, and file CPAP or spirometry data automatically, streamlining workflows and improving compliance with CMS monitoring requirements.
Case Study: Simulated ROI Model
Consider a mid-size pulmonology clinic with 4 providers. Using Honey Health’s AI platform, the clinic implemented agents for:
- Chart prep
- Prior auth
- Fax inbox management
- CPAP compliance tracking

ROI Isn’t Just Cost—It’s Capacity
AI also provides flexibility to grow. Clinics using Honey Health have expanded panel sizes, added telehealth offerings, and absorbed urgent same-day needs without hiring new staff.
Why Honey Health Leads in ROI
- EHR-native execution: No toggling, no new logins
- Agentic automation: Not just suggestions—real task completion
- Specialty-tuned AI: Trained on real pulmonology documents, faxes, and flowsheets
- Scalable deployment: Add new agents as needed with minimal training
Conclusion: The ROI of Automation is Real
Pulmonology clinics don’t need more dashboards or software logins. They need real help executing back-office work. AI offers measurable ROI—not in years, but in weeks.
And Honey Health is the only AI platform purpose-built to deliver that ROI in a way that fits your clinic, your team, and your patients.
