How Much Does Allergy Testing Cost?
The amount you pay out-of-pocket for allergy testing can vary, depending on these four factors: your deductible, co-pay, co-insurance, and in-network providers.
Keep in mind, we also offer self-pay rates of $695 for adult allergy testing and $400 for children (ages 18 mos-10 yrs). Food allergy testing is $400 for both children and adults. We offer payment plans, and we accept CareCredit as well. Please note that we do not accept cash payments.

Your Annual Deductible
Effectively, this is the amount you pay out-of-pocket for medical services before your insurance benefits will start to contribute to the cost of an allergy test.
Your Plan's Co-Pay
A co-pay is a minimum cost per visit, so even if you have maxed out your annual deductible, a charge per office visit will apply.
Your Plan's Co-Insurance
Co-insurance is a percentage of the total cost of the services provided that you will pay. Depending on your plan, a co-insurance may still apply even if you have met your deductible for the year.
In-Network vs. Out-of-Network
The provider you choose may or may not be in-network with your insurance plan. Also, some plans require referrals from a primary care physician. Typically, it's beneficial to stick to providers within your network if you're looking to apply your insurance benefits to allergy testing. However, we do offer competitive self-pay rates if you choose to not apply insurance benefits to the testing if we are out-of-network from your insurance plan.
What Else Should I Know About My Visit?
Depending on your health history, we may also screen for sinus and nasal structural issues during your appointment by performing a nasal endoscopy.
A nasal endoscopy is very similar to what your PCP does when you go to them and say you have a sinus infection and they look up your nose with the little light. Our nasal endoscopy is similar, however, the provider uses a different type of handheld device. They place the device right at the tip of the nasal passage; it is very non-invasive and not painful, so no anesthesia is necessary.
The nasal endoscopy is not part of the allergy test, but an important part of your screening -- particularly if reported allergy symptoms are affecting the sinuses or you have a history of chronic sinusitis.
Screening for structural sinus issues such as a any blockages or nasal polyps, helps us identify the best path for treatment, and can be an early detector for other more serious health conditions like cancer.
