By choosing Piniella Asthma + Allergy, you can trust you are receiving quality care from a Medicare-participating provider dedicated to helping you manage your allergies and asthma effectively.

At Piniella Asthma + Allergy, we want our patients in Coral Gables and Palmetto Bay to feel assured that Medicare provides coverage for many allergy services when they are medically necessary. Covered testing may include common options such as skin testing for allergens, patch testing, and specialized evaluations like pediatric testing, food sensitivity testing, food allergy assessments, and drug allergy testing. Medicare also generally covers allergy shots (immunotherapy) when prescribed by a physician, as long as they are shown to provide improvement over time.

Some services may not be covered if they are considered experimental or not proven effective, which is why it is always important to confirm your benefits before beginning care. Our team is here to help review your Medicare information, explain which tests and treatments are included, and guide you through the process so you can focus on receiving safe and effective allergy care tailored to your needs.

At Piniella Asthma + Allergy, we want our patients in Coral Gables and Palmetto Bay to feel confident about their coverage before starting treatment. Medicare generally covers allergy shots when they are considered medically necessary and your doctor documents that other treatments have not been effective. In most cases, Medicare pays about 80% of the approved cost once you have met your deductible, while you are responsible for the remaining coinsurance.

Because every plan can differ, it is always best to confirm your benefits before beginning care. Medicare may also review progress after a certain period, such as two years, to ensure the shots are helping reduce symptoms. We are happy to help you verify your Medicare coverage, explain any possible costs, and make the process as smooth as possible so you can focus on receiving the personalized allergy care you need.

• Medicare and Insurance Cards: Bring your Medicare card and any additional health insurance cards. The clinic will need these to verify your coverage and process claims.

• Photo Identification: A valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, is required for identification.

• Medication List: Prepare a comprehensive list of all medications you are currently taking—including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements. Please note the dosages and how frequently you take each one.

• Allergy Information: If you have any known allergies (to foods, medications, environmental factors, etc.), write them down and bring the list with you.

• Symptom Summary: Make a detailed note of your symptoms: when they began, how often they occur, and what seems to trigger or worsen them. This will help your allergist tailor your care.

• Medical Records: Bring copies of any recent medical records, lab results, or previous allergy testing if available. Sharing this information can help the allergist understand your medical history and may prevent unnecessary repeat testing.
