Code: 95078
Short Description: PROVOCATIVE TESTING
Long Description: Provocative testing (eg, Rinkel test)

Effective Date: 1994-01-01
Expiration Date: 2006-12-31

Official Notes For allergy laboratory tests, see 86000-86999 For intravenous therapy for severe or intractable allergic disease, see 90765-90768, 90772, 90774, 90775

From BCBS:
Provocative testing (CPT 95078) (e.g., Rinkel test) is performed by injecting (intradermal or subcutaneous) sublingual dilute extracts of the suspected food or inhalant allergen and observing the response or reaction. A symptomatic response indicates an allergy to that food or inhalant, and the reaction can be neutralized by application of a similar extract of a lesser dilution
