What 95076 covers

An ingestion challenge involves giving a patient measured, sequential amounts of a suspected food or medication by mouth while observing for an allergic response. Allergists and other clinicians experienced in allergy evaluation commonly perform these challenges in an office or facility equipped to monitor the patient and respond to reactions. Examples include assessing whether a patient can tolerate a food or an oral medication after a history of possible allergy.

Report 95076 for the initial testing interval; when testing continues beyond that interval, 95079 is the add-on code for additional testing time. Documentation should identify the ingested substance, the incremental doses or challenge steps, the testing time, observations, and any symptoms or intervention. CMS physician fee schedule values for this service include physician work, practice expense, and malpractice components, with practice expense values differing between office and facility settings.

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.

95076 billing questions

When is 95076 appropriate instead of allergy skin testing?

Use 95076 when the clinician evaluates tolerance by administering the suspected food or medication orally in a monitored challenge. Skin testing, such as 95004 or 95018, records a different testing method.

Can 95079 be reported with 95076?

Yes. 95076 represents the initial testing interval, and 95079 is the add-on code for each additional 60 minutes of ingestion challenge testing.

What should the record support?

Document the substance administered, incremental challenge steps, elapsed testing time, monitoring findings, and any reaction or treatment. The record should show that an oral challenge was performed, rather than only a discussion or history review.

Is a food challenge the only service reported with 95076?

No. The code can describe an oral challenge involving a medication as well as a food. The documentation should make clear what substance was ingested and how the challenge was conducted.

Does 95076 cover an inhaled allergen challenge?

No. 95076 is for an ingested challenge; 95070 describes bronchial inhalation challenge testing.

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.
