Equal Access to Allergy Testing in Medicare and Medicaid

New rules ensure that two main types of allergy tests – blood tests and skin prick tests – will be covered equally under Medicare and Medicaid programs. This means citizens covered by these programs will have easier and equal access to allergy diagnostics, potentially improving treatment and reducing healthcare costs.
Key points
Standardization of coverage for allergy tests (blood tests and skin prick tests) under Medicare and Medicaid.
Increased access to allergy diagnostics for individuals using these insurance programs.
Potential reduction in treatment costs and improved health outcomes through early and accurate allergy diagnosis.
Changes take effect from January 1, 2022.
