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

What 95165 covers

This service covers an allergist's selection of allergens and concentrations and supervision of custom extract preparation in multidose vials. Allergy and immunology practices typically prepare extracts after testing and clinical history identify relevant sensitivities to pollens, molds, dust mites, or animal dander. The preparing practice may administer the shots or send the extract to another office, such as a primary care clinic. Preparation does not include administering an injection.

Report units based on doses prepared, not shots given. For Medicare, one dose is a 1 mL aliquot from a multidose vial, regardless of the volume injected at a visit; a 10 mL vial therefore supports 10 units. The record should identify each vial's allergens, concentration, volume, preparation date, and supervising physician. When administered, injections are reported separately with 95115 for one injection or 95117 for two or more. CMS assigns substantially more practice-expense RVUs to this service in the office than in a facility.
