What 95017 covers
This service covers skin testing with venom extracts to evaluate immediate allergic reactions, commonly after a patient has had a systemic reaction to an insect sting. An allergist or other qualified clinician may use a percutaneous method, an intradermal method, or both as part of a sequential testing protocol. The clinician assesses the skin responses and documents the interpretation and report. Testing is commonly performed in an allergy office or outpatient setting where the patient can be observed during the evaluation.
Report 95017 for venom testing, rather than the general allergen-extract skin-testing codes, when the tests use venom extracts. Report the number of tests performed, supported by the record of the extracts and testing steps used, the patient’s responses, and the clinician’s interpretation. The CMS physician fee schedule assigns this service a code-specific payment value.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

95017 billing questions
When should 95017 be used instead of 95004?
Use 95017 for immediate-response skin testing with venom extracts. Code 95004 is for percutaneous testing with other allergenic extracts.
Does 95017 cover both percutaneous and intradermal venom testing?
Yes. The code covers venom testing performed by either method or by a combination of the two.
How should the number of tests be reported?

Is interpretation included in the service?
Yes. The service includes assessment of the immediate skin responses and the clinician’s interpretation and report.
How does 95017 differ from 95018?
Both codes cover combined percutaneous and intradermal testing approaches, but 95017 is for venoms and 95018 is for drugs or biologicals.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
