Comprehensive Summary of Reimbursement Criteria for Delayed Allergic Tests (2025 Latest)

Lately, I often have stomach pain.
Something keeps coming up on my skin.
Sometimes they just say "normal" even when you go to the hospital, right?

 

I felt the same way.
After eating something, I feel bloated.
My face feels itchy or I develop trouble.
I don't know the exact cause.

 

What I came to realize is
It was an immediate delayed allergy test.

 

It is a 'delayed' allergy test that checks for allergic reactions that appear within 2 to 72 hours after food intake.

 

The test that even Samdi did!

 

 

 

But if you look into this test
There is one question that comes up the most, right?

Does delayed allergy testing qualify for insurance coverage?

To put it simply,
To be precise, it's "somewhat difficult."

 

This test is a non-covered item under the health insurance.
Most cases are not covered by the actual expense insurance.

 

However!

A doctor's opinion letter is attached.
If it is specified as "for the purpose of diagnosing chronic disease"
Some insurance companies may provide coverage on an exception basis.

 

So, I
Call the insurance company immediately after the test.
I asked about the possibility of billing first.

If there is even a possibility,
On the day of the test, a medical certificate, receipt, and test results.
It's really important to be thorough and careful.

 

Then, what about the cost?

 

The cost of delayed allergy tests varies slightly from hospital to hospital.

 

Usually

- The 90-item test costs approximately 200,000 won.
- 220 types of tests cost more than 300,000 won

 

It's burdensome, isn't it?
So I called a few places in advance.
I started with price comparison.

 

And!
You also need to pay close attention to the test items.

220-item test
It is based on foreign diet standards.
Artichoke, fennel, and similar items
There may be foods included that are unrelated to us.

 

90 types of tests tailored to the Korean diet
It could be more efficient.

Choosing the hospital for your examination is also an important point.
