Trek Health ingests and normalizes Transparency in Coverage data and payer policy updates to give provider organizations a clear view of how commercial reimbursement behaves across markets, payers, and services. Our platform transforms raw payer disclosures into structured intelligence that supports contract evaluation, payer negotiations, and service line strategy. By combining market benchmarks with ongoing policy visibility, Trek helps teams identify variability, risk, and opportunity in commercial reimbursement. The result is faster insight, stronger negotiating positions, and more informed financial decisions.

All claims for allergy testing must contain a legitimate diagnosis (DX).

Providers must consult CMS and/or state Medicaid guidelines for authorized diagnosis and CPT codes for allergy testing and follow state billing instructions.

Reimbursement is determined by applicable fee schedules and the terms of the provider agreement; state-specific billing instructions and member benefit documents control coverage where they conflict with this policy.

Failure to include required indicators or documentation may result in delays, denials, or recovery of payment.

Molina will monitor compliance and take corrective action for coding and billing standards violations, including possible denial, recovery, or other corrective actions.

Diagnosis and documentation requirement — Claims must contain a legitimate diagnosis (DX)

All claims for allergy testing must include a legitimate diagnosis (DX) that is valid for the tested service. Providers must follow CMS and state Medicaid–authorized diagnosis and CPT code guidance for allergy testing when completing claims. Molina reimbursement is based on applicable fee schedules and provider agreement terms; failure to include required diagnosis codes, authorized CPT codes, or supporting documentation may result in claim delays, denials, or recovery of payment.

Follow CMS/state Medicaid guidance for authorized diagnosis and CPT codes for allergy testing.
Include the legitimate DX on every claim for allergy testing.
Ensure supporting documentation per state Medicaid/CMS billing instructions is submitted to avoid denials or payment recovery.
