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.
