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.
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.

95148 billing questions
How is 95148 distinguished from 95147 or 95149?
Select 95148 when the prepared dose contains four distinct stinging-insect venoms. Use 95147 for three venoms or 95149 for five.
Does 95148 include administering the venom injections?
No. It represents supervised antigen preparation and provision. Report the applicable injection-administration code separately when injections are given.
How many units should be reported?
Report one unit for each dose prepared and provided that contains four venoms. The number of venoms determines the code; the number of injections does not.
What documentation supports 95148?
Document the venom immunotherapy prescription, the four venoms in the dose, the number of doses prepared and provided, and the professional oversight.
Should 95148 be used for a non-venom allergy treatment set?
No. This code is for venom immunotherapy with four stinging-insect venoms. Code 95165 is used for allergen treatment sets rather than this four-venom service.
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.
