Immunologist That Accepts Medicare Serving McLean VA, Arlington VA, Alexandria VA, Bethesda MD, Gaithersburg MD, and Rockville MD

At Amerimmune Clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of immune system disorders, and we work closely with our patients to maximize their Medicare benefits. Medicare Part B plays a vital role in covering many of the immunology-related services our clinic provides.

Coverage for Diagnostic Testing and Laboratory Services Medicare Part B covers medically necessary laboratory tests that help diagnose and monitor immune system conditions, including autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiencies, and allergies. Your physician may order specialized allergy testing to assess your immune health. These diagnostic services are typically covered when ordered by our Medicare-enrolled providers and deemed medically necessary.

Physician Visits and Specialist Consultations: Your ongoing care and management often involve consultations with our immunology specialists. Medicare Part B covers office visits and medical consultations when you need evaluation, follow-up, or adjustments to your treatment plan for immune-related conditions.

Ensuring Coverage To ensure coverage of your services at Amerimmune Clinic, it is important that:

• Your tests and treatments are ordered by one of our Medicare-enrolled providers,

Allergy Testing

Medicare Part B typically covers allergy testing when it is medically necessary to diagnose or manage your symptoms. At Amerimmune Clinic, our Medicare-approved providers can order and perform a range of allergy tests, including skin prick testing and blood tests. These tests help us identify specific allergens that may be causing your reactions, allowing us to create a personalized treatment plan for you.

Allergy Immunotherapy (Allergy Shots)

If you require ongoing treatment for conditions such as allergic rhinitis or allergic asthma, Medicare Part B may also cover allergy immunotherapy (commonly known as allergy shots). We offer these injections under the supervision of our qualified healthcare professionals. Medicare coverage typically includes both the allergy serum and the administration of the injections, provided they are deemed medically necessary.

Please note that Medicare generally does not cover alternative forms of immunotherapy, such as sublingual drops or tablets, as these are not FDA-approved for all uses.

Before scheduling your allergy testing or beginning immunotherapy at Amerimmune Clinic, we recommend:

• Confirming your Medicare or Medicare Advantage plan’s coverage for these services
• Discussing any out-of-pocket costs with our billing team
• Bringing any necessary referral or prior authorization forms, if required by your plan

At Amerimmune Clinic, we strive to make advanced immunology care accessible and affordable for all our patients, including those with Medicare coverage. Medicare typically covers many of the immunology services we provide, such as laboratory testing, allergy testing, and medically necessary treatments. However, coverage details and out-of-pocket costs can vary based on your specific Medicare plan.

If you have Original Medicare (Part A and Part B), you will generally be responsible for the Part B deductible and a 20% coinsurance for most outpatient immunology services after your deductible has been met. If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan, your cost-sharing (copayments or coinsurance) and coverage rules may differ depending on your specific plan.

Please note that some immunology treatments, services, or medications offered may not be fully covered by Medicare, which could result in higher out-of-pocket expenses. We recommend checking with both our clinic team and your Medicare plan provider to confirm which services are covered and to better understand your personal costs. If you have supplemental insurance (Medigap), it may help cover some of these out-of-pocket costs if you have Original Medicare.
