Allergy testing for food sensitivity is covered when medically necessary and may require up to 40 percutaneous tests.
Multitest intracutaneous testing of up to 60 tests may be appropriate in lieu of prick-puncture testing for selected patients (for example, young children, older adults, or needle-phobic individuals).
