A recent audit by the Office of Inspector General was conducted to determine (1) if allergen immunotherapy and related services met Medicare coverage and documentation requirements, and (2) if allergen immunotherapy provided to Medicare beneficiaries was of a quality that met professionally recognized standards of health care. Some of their key findings include:
OIG Report Highlights:
- 62% of allergy immunotherapy and related services allowed by Medicare in 2001 did not meet program requirements, resulting in $75 million in improper payments
- 31% of IT treatment provided to Medicare beneficiaries did not meet Medicare coverage and documentation requirements
- 29% of immunotherapy and related services billings were undocumented
- The care provided to approximately 70% of Medicare beneficiaries who received allergen immunotherapy in 2001 was inconsistent with Joint Task Force standards for proper immunotherapy healthcare
