An allergy is a reaction of your immune system to something that does not bother most other people. People who have allergies often are sensitive to more than one thing.
Hypersensitivity to an agent caused by an immunologic response to an initial exposure. Hypersensitivity; a local or general reaction of an organism following contact with a specific allergen to which it has been previously exposed and to which it has become sensitized.
An inflammatory response to an exogenous environmental antigen or an endogenous antigen initiated by the adaptive immune system. [goc:jal, isbn:0781735149]

Delayed Hypersensitivity Skin Testing has been commonly used in three ways: anergy testing, testing for infection with intracellular pathogens, and testing for sensitivity to contact allergens. Accurate testing for contact allergy requires careful attention to technique, and limitation of testing to the specific allergens known to be associated with a contact reaction.
Allergy patch testing is a covered procedure only when used to diagnose allergic contact dermatitis after the following exposures: dermatitis due to detergents, oils and greases, solvents, drugs and medicines in contact with skin, other chemical products, food in contact with skin, plants (except food), cosmetics, metals, rubber additives, other and unspecified. Patch tests may also be used and may be helpful when a distribution and persistence of dermatitis suggests a possible contact allergy, but the exact etiology of the dermatitis is unknown.
Inhalation Bronchial Challenge Testing involves the inhalation of agents that can trigger respiratory responses and are often used to evaluate new allergens and/or substantiate the role of allergens in patients with significant symptoms. Results of these tests are ordinarily evaluated by objective measures of pulmonary function and occasionally by characterization of bronchoalveolar lavage samples.
Immunotherapy - this treatment involves injection of a patient with an allergen solution in an effort to develop an immune system tolerance. It treats the cause of the disease rather than managing the symptoms.
The medical record must document the elements of the medical and immunologic history including but not limited to correlation of symptoms; occurrence of symptoms; exposure profile; documentation of allergic sensitization by accepted means and where attempts at avoidance have proven unsuccessful (or the impracticality of avoidance exists); and a copy of the sensitivity results; along with the physical examination. Testing results and treatment need to justify the diagnosis and code on each claim form. The clinical condition that is claimed to justify this treatment must be clearly documented in the record. Note: A payable diagnosis alone does not support medical necessity of ANY service. The interpretation of the test results and how the results of the test was used in the patient’s plan of care for treatment and the management of the patient’s medical condition (s) must be documented. The treating physician must clearly document the medical necessity to initiate allergen immunotherapy and the continued need thereof. This plan of care needs to include the dosage regimen. Progress notes that document physician management during the course of the allergic disease, anticipated length of treatment, and explanation of any deviations from normal treatment frequency should be included. The record should be prepared so that the data regarding injection and responses can be appreciated in a logical and sequential sense. Documentation must support the use of the CPT code (e.g., number of venoms, number of vials) being billed.
There should be a permanent record of the allergy test and its interpretation including the test methodology and measurement (in mm) of reaction size of both wheal and erythema response in vivo testing. For the in vitro testing, the quantitative result (s) (in kIU/L) for specific IgE must be documented. If vitro testing is used, the medical necessity must be documented. All patient reaction (s) or complications should be recorded. The report should address or answer any specific clinical questions. If there are factors that prevent answering the clinical questions specific for this patient, this should be explained in the documentation. An official interpretation (final report) of the testing and plan for treatment, should be included in the patient’s medical record. Retention of the allergy test (s) and treatment plan should be consistent both with clinical need and with relevant legal and local health care facility requirements.
There are three courses of treatments for allergy, which may be used individually, or in a combination with one another:
When an evaluation and management service is billed on the same day as allergen immunotherapy (by the same physician), a separately identifiable service must be documented in the medical record.
A reasonable supply of antigens is considered to be not more than a 12-month supply of antigens that has been prepared for a particular patient at any one time. (CMS Pub 100-02 Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15- Covered Medical and Other Health Services, 50.4.4.1 – Antigens)
