What is Allergy Testing?
Allergy testing identifies specific substances that trigger allergic reactions using skin prick tests or blood tests. Skin prick testing involves placing small amounts of allergens on the skin and observing reactions within 15 to 20 minutes. Results guide treatment including allergen avoidance strategies, medications, and immunotherapy.
Medicare Coverage
Medicare coverage for allergy testing is determined by National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). Coverage status shown above reflects national policy. Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) from your regional Medicare Administrative Contractor may have additional requirements.
