Allergy & Immunology Billing Services in New York
New York's allergy & immunology practices face unique billing challenges shaped by Empire BlueCross BlueShield's commercial rules, NY Medicaid Managed Care requirements, and Novitas Solutions Medicare policies. Our AAPC-certified coders specialize in both NY payer rules and allergy & immunology coding complexity.
Why New York Allergy & Immunology Practices Need Specialized Billing
New York's healthcare market includes 90,000+ physicians, and allergy & immunology practices here face a payer market dominated by Empire BlueCross BlueShield on the commercial side and NY Medicaid Managed Care on the public payer side. Medicare claims are processed through Novitas Solutions, which applies its own Local Coverage Determinations that directly affect allergy & immunology procedure coverage and medical necessity requirements. Generic billing teams without NY specific knowledge leave revenue on the table.
Allergy & Immunology billing itself is complex. Allergy and immunology billing revolves around allergy testing codes (95004 percutaneous, 95024 intracutaneous, 95044 patch testing), immunotherapy administration (95115-95117 for injections, 95120-95134 for professional services with provision of antigen), biologic medication J-codes for severe allergic conditions, and pulmonary function testing (94010-94070). Test count accuracy is critical — each allergy test is billed per individual allergen, and a typical testing session involves 40-80 individual tests. When you combine this coding complexity with New York's specific payer rules, authorization requirements, and 6 NY Medicaid Managed Care managed care plans that each have their own billing rules, you need a team that understands both dimensions. Go Medical Billing provides that expertise at 2.49% of collections, serving allergy & immunology practices from New York City to Albany and across New York.

New York Payer Challenges for Allergy & Immunology
Every NY payer has specific rules for allergy & immunology claims. Here's how we navigate them.
Empire BlueCross BlueShield Allergy & Immunology Claims
Empire BlueCross BlueShield processes the largest share of New York commercial allergy & immunology claims. We know their NY specific fee schedules, prior authorization requirements for allergy & immunology procedures, and their appeal timelines when claims are denied. Allergy skin testing bills per individual allergen tested. A 60-allergen panel = 60 units of 95004. Inaccurate test counts directly reduce revenue or create audit risk.
NY Medicaid Managed Care Allergy & Immunology Billing
NY Medicaid Managed Care routes allergy & immunology patients through 6 managed care plans: Fidelis Care, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, and 3 more. Each MCO has its own allergy & immunology authorization and billing rules that we manage.
Medicare (Novitas Solutions) Allergy & Immunology Coverage
Novitas Solutions processes Medicare allergy & immunology claims in New York with its own Local Coverage Determinations. We navigate Novitas Solutions's policies around immunotherapy administration coding to prevent medical necessity denials.
Denial Prevention for New York Allergy & Immunology
Common allergy & immunology denials in New York include allergy skin testing bills per individual allergen tested and choosing between 95115 (single injection), 95117 (2+ injections), and 95120-95134 (professional component with antigen provision) depends on who prepared the antigen. Our team catches these issues before submission and appeals aggressively with NY payer-specific documentation when denials occur.
