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

What 95180 covers

An allergist uses rapid desensitization to gradually increase a patient’s exposure to a medication that has caused or may cause an immediate hypersensitivity reaction. Examples include antibiotics, aspirin, chemotherapy agents, and biologic drugs when desensitization is needed to permit treatment. The clinician administers escalating doses under close observation for reactions, commonly in a monitored outpatient setting or hospital environment equipped to respond to acute symptoms.

Report 95180 by the hour, supported by documentation of the procedure’s duration and the dosing protocol. The record should identify the medication, dose escalation, monitoring, any reactions, and whether the protocol was completed or stopped. Physician supervision and interpretation are included in the service. This is distinct from routine scheduled allergen immunotherapy injections, which do not involve a prolonged medication desensitization protocol.
