Article Guidance

Article Text

This Billing and Coding Article provides billing and coding guidance for Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L36241, Allergy Testing. Please refer to the LCD for reasonable and necessary requirements.

Coding Guidance

Notice
: It is not appropriate to bill Medicare for services that are not covered (as described by the entire LCD) as if they are covered. When billing for non-covered services, use the appropriate modifier.

Consistent with the related LCD, CPT code 82785 Gammaglobulin [immunoglobulin]; IgE is not appropriate in most general allergy testing. Please refer to the LCD for details on medically reasonable and necessary guidelines.

It is not usually necessary to report CPT code 86003 Allergen specific IgE; quantitative or semiquantitative, crude allergen extract (in vitro testing) in addition to skin testing. Please see the related LCD for medically reasonable and necessary guidelines.

Documentation Requirements:

  1. All documentation must be maintained in the patient's medical record and made available to the contractor upon request.
  2. Every page of the record must be legible and include appropriate patient identification information (e.g., complete name, dates of service[s]). The documentation must include the legible signature of the physician or non-physician practitioner responsible for and providing the care to the patient.
  3. The medical record must support the use of the selected ICD-10-CM code(s). The submitted CPT/HCPCS code must describe the service performed.
  4. Prior to performance of allergy testing, there must be evidence in the medical record that a history has been obtained, indicating the possible presence of allergy.
    • This history should support that attempts to narrow the area of investigation were taken so that the minimal number of necessary skin tests might deliver a diagnosis.
    • The history should support that the selection of antigens was based on the patient specific history and physician examination.
  5. The medical record must indicate which allergy test(s) were used, the interpretation(s), and measurement (in mm) of reaction size of both wheal and erythema response or a standardized grading system in vivo testing (as applicable).
