CPT® Code 95027

Intracutaneous (intradermal) tests, sequential and incremental, with allergenic extracts for airborne allergens, immediate type reaction, including test interpretation and report, specify number of tests

Intracutaneous (intradermal) tests are diagnostic procedures utilized to assess allergic reactions to specific airborne allergens. During this procedure, allergenic extracts are administered just beneath the skin's surface, allowing for the observation of immediate type reactions. The tests are designed to provoke a response that can be evaluated for signs of allergy, such as redness, swelling, or inflammation at the injection sites. A qualified healthcare professional, typically a physician, monitors these reactions closely. Following the testing, the results are meticulously interpreted, and a comprehensive written report is generated. This report details the number of allergens tested, the specific allergenic extracts utilized, and the presence, absence, or degree of any allergic reactions observed. For coding purposes, the appropriate CPT® code to use for these intracutaneous allergy tests is 95027.
