Ingestion challenge test (sequential and incremental ingestion of test items, eg, food, drug or other substance such as metabisulfite)

The ingestion challenge test, identified by CPT® Code 95075, is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate potential allergies in patients. This test involves the sequential and incremental ingestion of specific test items, which may include foods, drugs, or other substances such as metabisulfite. During the test, the patient consumes these items under the supervision of a physician, who closely monitors for any adverse reactions or symptoms that may indicate an allergic response. The primary goal of this procedure is to identify specific allergens that may be causing allergic reactions in the patient, thereby aiding in the development of an appropriate management plan. The ingestion challenge test is particularly useful in cases where traditional allergy testing methods, such as skin tests or blood tests, may not provide conclusive results. By observing the patient's reactions in real-time, healthcare providers can gain valuable insights into the patient's sensitivities and tailor their treatment accordingly.
