Do Your Patients Need Allergy Care?
As a primary care physician or integrative practitioner, you are already the first line of defense for your patients’ health concerns. Allergies may not always present themselves clearly, yet they are often the underlying cause of chronic symptoms like fatigue, sinus pressure, headaches, and skin irritation. Unfortunately, many practices are still referring out allergy cases, leaving patients with long waits, high costs, and fragmented care.
But what if you could solve this in-house? With environmental allergy testing and immunotherapy available directly in your practice, you can address the root cause of your patients’ symptoms while opening up a substantial new revenue stream.
What Are Environmental Allergies?
Environmental allergies are immune responses to substances in the air and surroundings. These include pollens, molds, pet dander, dust mites, and even insect venom. For millions of Americans, these allergens trigger uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating reactions.
Many patients suffer needlessly or are misdiagnosed with unrelated conditions like recurrent sinus infections, chronic fatigue, eczema, or even digestive problems. By offering in-house testing, you give them clarity and a chance at long-term relief—without the need for external referrals or temporary medications.
What Is In-House Allergy Testing and How Does It Work?
In-house testing typically involves a quick, painless skin test—such as intradermal testing—conducted right in your office by trained staff. Results are available in under 30 minutes and can detect reactions to 38 of the most common environmental allergens:
- Pollens: grasses, trees, and weeds
- Molds: indoor and outdoor strains
- Pet dander: cats, dogs
- Dust mites & cockroach allergens
- Insect venom: bees, wasps, hornets
These classifications offer a comprehensive view of what may be contributing to your patient’s symptoms. Once identified, tailored treatment options, including immunotherapy, can begin right away.
The Financial Upside: A New Revenue Stream You Control
Every time you refer a patient out for allergy testing, you lose not just visibility into their care, but also a significant revenue opportunity. On average, practices miss out on $50,000 to $150,000+ per year by outsourcing this service.
By offering testing and Allergy Immunotherapy (AIT) in-house, you generate new CPT billable codes, recurring visits, and stronger patient engagement. The setup is simple, with no major equipment costs or hiring needs.
How Allergy Testing Supports Better Clinical Outcomes
Patients don’t just want answers; they want lasting relief. Allergy testing allows you to:
- Treat the root cause of recurring symptoms
- Reduce dependence on over-the-counter medications
- Improve outcomes for asthma, eczema, GI issues, chronic cough, and more
- Deliver natural, long-term solutions that patients love
Many patients are shocked to learn they’re allergic to common, everyday triggers. Once tested and treated, quality of life improves dramatically.
