Allergy testing

About 95065: Direct nasal allergen response test

Reports direct testing of the nasal lining for an allergen-related response, commonly used when evaluating suspected allergic rhinitis or nasal triggers.

An allergist or other clinician evaluating allergic rhinitis may apply an allergen directly to the nasal lining and assess the local response. This target-organ test can help evaluate a suspected nasal trigger; it is distinct from testing reactivity on the skin or challenging the lower airways. It is typically performed in an outpatient allergy setting.

Report 95065 for the direct nasal mucous-membrane testing service, rather than for skin testing or bronchial challenge. Documentation should identify the clinical reason, substances tested, testing method, observed nasal response, and personnel involved. CMS classifies 95065 as technical-component-only: its valuation includes no physician work, and a separate code covers interpretation. Treat the test and its professional interpretation as separately represented services, not as a single global service.
