Allergy Solutions is a Medical Ancillary Services Provider dedicated to building long-lasting relationships with medical practices. Allergy Solutions provides a turn-key allergy testing lab and customized desensitization (immunotherapy) treatment protocol designed to improve patient quality of life by eliminating or minimizing the impact of allergies. This turn key program is designed to enable the physician to identify and treat allergies which can cause unpleasant symptoms, suffering and costly medications for the patient.

Allergy Solutions of New York, founded in 2009, functions as an “ancillary” service in the doctor’s office or hospital and was the first company in New York and Florida to support primary-care and other specialty physicians in providing safe and convenient allergy testing and treatment with individually customized immunotherapy. Allergy Solutions provides the physician with a new revenue source for their practice while offering much-needed treatment and relief for allergy sufferers, paving the way for the patient to leave behind over the counter allergy medications and unpleasant allergy symptoms.

Partnering with Allergy Solutions provides the physician or hospital with a fully staffed and operational allergy center that seamlessly integrates into a physician’s office or hospital setting. Allergy Solutions manages the functional aspects of the center, including the personnel, supplies, and equipment needed to perform the testing and subsequent treatment. Allergy Solutions staffs the allergy center with Allergy Solutions certified clinical allergy specialists trained in the latest techniques for allergy testing, exceeding federal standards.

The physician or hospital continues to manage the clinical for the patient, retaining full control of their patients. Equally as important, keeping the patient in house and not losing the patient by referring every allergy patient to a specialist. The clinical process begins by identifying patient’s suffering with allergies with a short questionnaire. Patients discuss their allergy symptoms with their physician, and the physician determines if they are a candidate for testing and treatment. (The ideal candidate is over the age of two and suffers from food, seasonal, environmental, chemical or drug allergies.) The physician then orders the allergy scratch test, to confirm the patient’s specific allergen sensitivities. Allergy Solutions tests for 54 of the most common allergens in the specific geographic area, along with 63 food allergens and a variety of antibiotics, and chemical testing.

Once a patient’s allergy test has confirmed sensitivities to allergens, the physician coordinates and supervises a customized treatment plan that meets the patient’s specific needs, possibly allergen-avoidance therapy (food), and in appropriate cases immunotherapy treatment (inhalants).

In addition to the obvious benefits of the treatment for the patient, most insurance plans cover allergy testing and treatment in the PCP’s office, including Medicare, Medicaid, and all private insurances.

Allergy Solutions is partnering with the physician or hospital to help change patient's lives with effective treatment; increasing a patient’s quality of life, workforce, and school productivity, by providing a much-needed service. The patients feel great and the clinics have a higher rate of patient retention. This turn-key program enables the physician to provide a permanent solution for the patient's suffering from allergies and costly medications that mask the symptoms and don't treat the cause of the allergy.

Allergy Solution cares for each practice individually with a high level of customization of client care based on the needs of each physician and their practice.

Allergy Solution excels with high recommendations from their clients due to their exceptional organization, highly trained staff and service-based approach and expertise in the allergy arena. Their medical director, Dr. Michael Marcus named top 10 allergists in NY, head of allergy and immunology at Maimonides Hospital, and revered in his specialties for allergy/immunology and pulmonology is one of the most important assurances to physicians and hospitals that this turn-key program is monitored and supervised with the highest level of expertise and experience in the field of allergy

Allergy overview

Allergy is characterised by an overreaction of the human immune system to a foreign protein substance (“allergen”) that is eaten, breathed into the lungs, injected or touched. This immune overreaction can results in symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose and scratchy throat. In severe cases it can also result in rashes, hives, lower blood pressure, difficulty breathing, asthma attacks, and even death.

WHAT IS IMMUNOTHERAPY?

Allergy Immunotherapy is a clinically documented treatment that considerably reduces, or completely removes your allergy symptoms and the need for traditional, symptom relieving medication. Until your immune system has had time to adjust, you may still need the medication you are already using. After three to six months, your need for drugs may decrease and your symptoms may become less severe. An additional effect of immunotherapy is that it may prevent the onset of other allergies and the development of asthma. Studies have shown that children who were at an increased risk of developing asthma were able to resist the onset of asthma and see their existing symptoms decrease after completing treatment.
