Uncovered and Covered Immunotherapy with EmblemHealth

Covered

EmblemHealth provides coverage for a variety of treatments and situations for those dealing with allergies. This includes diagnostic testing such as skin tests and blood tests to determine specific allergens. Once allergies are diagnosed, EmblemHealth may cover allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy) that are tailored to desensitize the immune system to specific allergens. Moreover, the plan typically covers pharmacotherapy, involving medications such as antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, or inhalers for asthma, which is commonly associated with allergies. In the case of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, EmblemHealth insurance may cover the cost of emergency treatments, including epinephrine auto-injectors. Preauthorization might be required for some treatments to ensure coverage. Always check with EmblemHealth for the specifics of your plan.

Uncovered

EmblemHealth may not cover treatments such as cosmetic surgery, except when medically necessary, and experimental or investigational procedures that lack significant medical documentation supporting their efficacy. Coverage for services provided by non-network providers without prior approval may also be excluded. Additionally, over-the-counter medications and certain types of alternative therapies that are not deemed medically necessary might not be covered. Personal comfort items, custodial care, and educational services for conditions like ADD/ADHD can also fall outside of coverage. It's crucial for policyholders to consult their specific plan documents for a detailed list of exclusions.

Why prevention is more effective than allergy medicine

Exposure therapy:
Train your immune system to fight allergies rather than treat them with medications
Desensitization: Symptoms subside as your body desensitized to allergies reducing or eliminating the need for daily medication
Prevention: Immunotherapy helps prevent and fight allergies at the source

The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.

I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.
