The tourist population is increasingly diverse, but most of the tourists come from the US, Ireland, the UK, Germany and other European countries.
How much you can expect to pay out of pocket for allergy testing, including what people paid in 2017. For a patient not covered by health insurance an allergy test typically costs $150 to $300 for a consultation with an allergist, plus $60 to $300 total ($3 to $5 per allergen) for the much more commonly used skin prick test, or $200 to $1,000 total ($10 to $20 per allergen) for a blood test known as a RAST test. Allergy testing usually is covered by health insurance. For patients covered by health insurance, typical out-of-pocket costs involve a copay for the doctor's visit. For example, this BlueChoice plan has a copay of $20 for a family doctor and $35 for a specialist. And this Aetna plan has a $35 copay for testing.
But researcher Timothy J. Sullivan III, MD, of Emory University, calculated that the same patient would pay only $800 for the first year of allergy shots -- the most expensive year. In following years, when allergy shots are done monthly or even less frequently, those costs drop to between $290 and $170.
