Question

A 5 year-old is brought in to see an allergist for generalized urticaria. The family just recently visited a family member that had a cat and dog. The mother wants to know if her son is allergic to cats and dogs. The child's skin was scratched with two different allergens. The provider waited 15 minutes to check the results. There was a flare up reaction to the cat allergen, but there was no flare up to the dog allergen. The provider included the test interpretation and report in the record.

Answer 1

Answer:

95004 x 2

Explanation:

Generalized Urticaria is characterized as the disease that causes due to exercise, hot shower/baths, or sweating and leads to cholinergic reactions(like itchiness). The test report for generalized urticaria would display '95004 x 2.' This would display that the child was allergic to the cat allergen and not to the dog allergen as displayed by the flared up reactions during the test.
