FAQ

Allergy Training FAQ for Physicians

Common questions about allergy testing and immunotherapy training for physicians.

Yes. Any licensed physician (MD/DO) can add allergy testing and immunotherapy services to their practice with appropriate training. Family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, ENT, and urgent care physicians commonly offer these services. No fellowship in allergy/immunology is required to perform basic allergy testing and administer immunotherapy.
This comprehensive course covers skin prick testing (the most common method), intradermal testing for increased sensitivity, patch testing for contact dermatitis, RAST blood testing for specific IgE, and total serum IgE testing. You'll learn proper technique, interpretation of results, and clinical decision-making for selecting appropriate tests.
Yes. As a physician, you have full authority to prescribe and oversee allergen immunotherapy. This course covers both subcutaneous immunotherapy (traditional allergy shots) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) protocols. You'll learn build-up schedules, maintenance dosing, safety monitoring, and management of adverse reactions.
Yes. Allergy testing and immunotherapy are covered services under most insurance plans with established CPT codes. This course includes comprehensive billing and coding training to ensure proper reimbursement. Many physicians find allergy services provide excellent revenue with favorable insurance reimbursement compared to many other services.
Allergy testing requires relatively modest start-up costs. You'll need allergen extracts, testing devices (skin prick applicators), measurement tools, and emergency medications for potential reactions. The course covers how to select an allergy laboratory for supplies and custom immunotherapy preparation. Many labs offer starter kits and ongoing support for new practices.
Allergy services create multiple revenue streams: initial testing, interpretation visits, immunotherapy preparation, and ongoing administration visits. Immunotherapy patients typically require weekly injections during build-up and monthly maintenance for 3-5 years, creating substantial recurring revenue. With 50 million Americans affected by allergies and limited access to specialists, there's significant unmet demand.
