Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 95004 covers

Allergists, otolaryngologists, and some primary care clinicians perform percutaneous testing to evaluate suspected immediate allergies, including allergic rhinitis, asthma triggers, and food allergy. Small amounts of allergenic extract are introduced through a scratch, prick, or puncture on the forearm or back. The resulting wheal and flare are read shortly afterward. Typical extracts include pollens, dust mites, animal dander, molds, and foods. Clinical staff may apply and read the tests under physician supervision; interpretation and a report are included in the service.

Report one unit for each individual percutaneous test performed, rather than one unit for the panel. Document the extracts, controls, test sites, reactions, read time, and interpretation to support the reported count. When clinically indicated, separately performed intradermal immediate-reaction tests with allergenic extracts are reported with 95024 and their own test count. Do not bill separately for the interpretation of 95004. A significant, separately identifiable office evaluation on the same date may be reported with an appropriate E/M code and modifier 25 on the E/M service.
