The submitted medical record must support the selected ICD-10-CM code(s) used for billing.

Submitted CPT/HCPCS codes must accurately describe the service performed.

Document therapeutic expectations, antigen levels, time frame for administration, and any adjustments due to local/systemic reactions or missed doses.

Key Coverage Criteria

Allergen immunotherapy is covered only when it meets the reasonable and necessary requirements specified in Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L36240.
Allergy testing is covered when the medical record documents a history indicating the possible presence of allergy and the clinician selected a minimal number of tests/antigens based on patient-specific history and physician examination.
Allergy testing is covered when the medical record documents the test(s) used, the interpretation(s), and objective measurement of reaction size (wheal and erythema in mm) or a standardized in vivo grading system.
RAST type tests are covered when medically necessary and supported by the related Local Coverage Determination (LCD) and current medical literature or standards of practice.
An ECG is covered when the result is relevant to the management, diagnosis, or treatment of the patient.
A separate ECG on the same day as a cardiac stress test is payable only when it provides additional clinically necessary information beyond the stress test (e.g., to rule out acute myocardial infarction prior to performing the stress test).
