		<description><![CDATA[As long as it is medically necessary to diagnose and treat a condition then the answer is yes, Medicare will pay.  The key to any Medicare claim is medical necessity.  Elective or alternative therapies are generally not covered in most situations.  When in doubt have the doctor request pre-authorization..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Allergy testing that may be covered include:
1. complete blood testing
2. chest Xray when respiratory symptoms are present
3. skin testing
4. total gamma globulins
5. sputum exams
6. Paranasal sinus xray
7. challenge ingestion food testing
8. Radioallergosorbent Test

Do you prefer the short answer. Your doctor has your medicare policy information. Have his nurse call the company and ask if the procedure is covered]]></description>
