About This Procedure
Skin prick tests or blood tests to identify specific allergens causing allergic reactions. Used to diagnose food, environmental, and drug allergies.
What Affects the Price?
Skin prick tests ($60-$300) are cheaper and more accurate than blood tests ($200-$1,000+). Testing for more allergens costs more but panels are often bundled. Blood tests (specific IgE) are necessary when skin testing is not possible. Patch testing for contact dermatitis is a separate multi-day procedure costing $300-$800.
Key Cost Factors
- Skin prick vs blood test (IgE)
- Number of allergens tested
- Allergist vs primary care
- Office visit fee
- Patch testing if needed
- Interpretation
