Allergen Immunotherapy Consent Form

You will be receiving an extract containing a mixture of allergens to which you are allergic

For this reason, there is a risk of allergic reactions. The most common reactions include local swelling and itching at the site of the injection. Some patients will experience nasal symptoms including runny nose and itching. Patients, especially those with asthma, may also experience wheezing. Severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis have rarely occurred and would involve wheezing, hives, swelling, gastrointestinal symptoms, low blood pressure, and, in very rare cases, death. The majority of reactions to allergy shots occur immediately after your injection; therefore, you will be required to wait 30 minutes after each shot.

It is very important that you let us know immediately if you have been sick or had any recent medication changes.

You must inform our staff if you have been placed on BETA BLOCKER medications, as well. Please ask our nursing staff if you are unsure what medications are considered beta blockers.

I have discussed allergy injections and the risks with my provider at Arizona Allergy Associates.

I give my permission for the allergy injection extract to be prepared and billed to the responsible payer (my insurance company or me). I have been given the opportunity to ask any and all questions I may have about the injections and am satisfied that they have been fully answered.

It can take 4-6 weeks or 24-32 business days before your allergy extract is made and billed to your insurance.

If there are any changes to your insurance during that time, it will be your responsibility to advise our office as soon as possible. Any allergy extract that is made will be the sole financial responsibility of the patient in the event the insurance denies or applies a patient responsibility.

I understand that I must notify the Billing Department immediately of any insurance changes or other circumstances which would affect billing.

I also acknowledge that I may be responsible for the costs of extract preparation if my insurance company recoups monies because I am non-compliant with the recommended course of medical treatment with immunotherapy.

If there is a change to your insurance or you would like your current immunotherapy benefits, please complete the information below.

Please check cost for patient prior to making extract.

Yes, please!

No.
