What 95149 covers

This service covers the supervision of preparing and supplying venom antigens for allergen immunotherapy when the treatment includes five or more distinct stinging-insect venoms. An allergist or other qualified clinician typically arranges this work in an allergy practice; the prepared extracts may include venoms such as honeybee, yellow jacket, or hornet. The service concerns the antigen preparation and provision, not the injection given to the patient.

Choose this level based on the number of distinct venom types prepared for the patient, rather than the number of injections or visits. The record should support the venom types and the preparation and provision performed. CMS assigns physician fee schedule relative values for work, practice expense, and malpractice; the practice-expense value differs between office and facility settings. Report a separate, appropriate immunotherapy administration service when an injection is also given, supported by the service documentation.

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.

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.
