What 95024 covers

Small amounts of diluted allergenic extract are injected into the superficial dermis, often on the upper arm. Sites are typically read about 15 to 20 minutes later for an immediate wheal-and-flare reaction. Common extracts include dust mite, mold, pollen, and animal dander. Intradermal testing is more sensitive than percutaneous prick testing and may follow negative or unclear prick results when the history still suggests an inhalant allergy. Allergists commonly order and interpret these tests in an office, where nursing or allergy staff may place and read them. Nearly all Medicare volume for this code is in the office setting.

Report one unit for each intradermal allergen test performed and interpreted; do not count the reading as another test. Interpretation and the written report are included. Documentation should identify each allergen and its concentration or dilution, the reading time, wheal-and-flare measurements, and the interpretation. Practice expense accounts for most of the office value, reflecting extracts, supplies, and staff time; physician work represents 4% of the office total. Venom, drug, sequential and incremental airborne-allergen, and delayed-reaction testing have separate codes.

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.

95024 billing questions

How many units are reported?

Report one unit for each intradermal allergen test performed and interpreted, not another unit for reading it. The documented allergens, concentrations, and results should support the unit count.

Can 95004 and 95024 be billed on the same date?

Yes, when separately necessary intradermal tests follow prick testing in the same session. Documentation should show why the intradermal tests were needed, such as negative or equivocal prick results despite a suggestive history.

Should insect venom or penicillin skin testing go under 95024?

No. Use 95017 for venom testing and 95018 for drug or biological testing, such as penicillin. Those codes encompass percutaneous and intradermal testing.

When is 95027 used instead of 95024?

Use 95027 for sequential, incremental intradermal testing with airborne allergens. Use 95024 for individual immediate-reaction intradermal tests that are not part of that testing protocol.

Is a separate E/M visit billable on the testing day?

Reading and reporting the test results are included in 95024. A significant, separately identifiable E/M service must be documented separately and reported with modifier 25 on the E/M code.

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.
