The medical record must support the selected ICD-10-CM code(s) and the submitted CPT/HCPCS code must accurately describe the service performed.
Prior to testing there must be evidence that a history was obtained indicating possible allergy and that attempts were made to narrow the area of investigation so that the minimal necessary skin tests were selected.
