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

What 95148 covers

This service covers the allergy practice’s supervised preparation and provision of a venom immunotherapy dose containing four distinct stinging-insect venoms. It is used for patients receiving desensitization treatment for insect-sting allergy, commonly under an allergist’s direction in an allergy office. The venoms may come from different stinging insects, such as bees, yellow jackets, wasps, or hornets; the code selection follows the number of venoms in the dose, not the number of injections given at that visit.

Report one unit for each dose prepared and provided with four venoms. Documentation should identify the prescribed venom immunotherapy, the four venoms included, the dose or doses prepared, and the professional oversight. This code represents antigen preparation and provision, not administration of the injection. When the patient receives immunotherapy injections, report the applicable injection-administration service separately, such as 95115 for one injection or 95117 for two or more injections.
