6 Allergy Clinic Contract Gotchas
- Multi-Year Immunotherapy: HIGH Allergy shots require 3-5 year commitment for full effectiveness. Stopping early means lost investment
- Testing Panel Costs: HIGH Comprehensive skin or blood testing can cost $500-2000+. Insurance may only cover partial panels
- Mandatory Wait Times: MEDIUM Must wait 30 minutes post-injection for reaction monitoring. Factor in time commitment for weekly visits
- Serum/Extract Fees: HIGH Custom allergy serum vials billed separately from injection visits. Vials expire and need replacement
- Reaction Liability: MEDIUM Consent acknowledges risk of anaphylaxis. You assume risk even with proper protocols
- Missed Appointment Restarts: MEDIUM Missing injections may require dose reduction or starting over. Schedule compliance is strict
