Allergy shots

Article Overview

This article discusses billing for allergy shot services in a pediatric setting and the circumstances under which a separate evaluation and management visit may be reported. It is aimed at clinicians, pediatric office billers, and coding staff who need a general understanding of how allergy injection encounters are documented and when additional visit-level services may be relevant. The article also touches on documentation expectations for nursing assessments and the distinction between an injection-only encounter and a separately billable office visit.
