AI claim scrubber for allergy and immunology billing
Syntra reviews immunotherapy mixing and injection logs so antigen preparation is captured on the claim. Syntra is an AI claim and chart scrubber that reviews allergy and immunology documentation against the claim before submission, so billing teams prevent denials instead of working them.
Example capture
95165 · Professional allergen immunotherapy antigen preparation
Allergen mixing log documents professional preparation of immunotherapy antigens. Supports 95165 in addition to injection codes when preparation is performed.
What causes allergy and immunology claim denials?
Most allergy and immunology denials trace back to the chart: a service documented but not coded, a code the note does not support, or a modifier that is missing. These are the patterns Syntra checks on every allergy and immunology encounter before submission:
- Antigen preparation units that do not match the mixing log
- Allergy testing counts that do not match the documented tests
- E/M with same-day testing billed without modifier -25 support
Which allergy and immunology modifiers and edits does Syntra check?
Syntra applies NCCI (CCI) edits, MUEs, and payer rules, then confirms each modifier is supported by the documentation rather than added to get past an edit. Common allergy and immunology modifiers it validates:
- -25 on E/M with same-day testing
- -59 for distinct testing types
- Correct units on 95165
Payers cap annual testing and antigen units, so the chart needs to support each unit billed.
Those checks follow public payer rules, including CMS National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits and Medicare Coverage Database (LCDs and articles). Syntra applies the rule to the note, which a claim-only edit cannot see.
How is this different from allergy and immunology billing software or a clearinghouse scrubber?
Billing software, practice-management systems, and clearinghouses scrub the claim after it is built: required fields, code pairs, and payer edits. They usually cannot see the clinical note. Syntra reasons on the note and the claim together, the way an experienced allergy and immunology coder would, which is how it finds undercoding and compliance risk that claim-level rules pass through. It sits on top of your existing revenue cycle management (RCM) stack rather than replacing it.

Allergy & Immunology claim scrubber FAQs
- What is the best claim scrubber for allergy and immunology practices?
- The best allergy and immunology claim scrubber reads the chart, not only the claim. Syntra is an AI claim and chart scrubber that compares allergy and immunology documentation to the codes, modifiers, and payer rules before submission, so missed revenue and denial risk are caught while the encounter can still be corrected.
- How does Syntra reduce allergy and immunology claim denials?
- Syntra checks every encounter for the denial drivers common in allergy and immunology, including NCCI bundling, missing or incorrect modifiers, medical necessity, and global-period conflicts. It flags issues before the claim leaves the practice, which raises the clean claim rate instead of working denials after the fact.
- Does Syntra replace my allergy and immunology billing software or EHR?
- No. Syntra sits on top of your existing EHR, practice-management system, and clearinghouse. It adds chart-level pre-bill review to the revenue cycle (RCM) stack you already run.
- Which EHRs does Syntra support for allergy and immunology?
- Syntra integrates with Epic, Cerner, NextGen, Nextech, SIS, iMedicWare, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Optivate, and ModMed. If your allergy and immunology practice uses another EHR, a dedicated engineer builds a custom integration.
- How do allergy and immunology practices get started?
- Every practice starts with a complimentary retroactive audit of recent allergy and immunology charts and claims. Syntra then moves to controlled pre-bill review and, over about 90 days, autonomous submission on eligible encounters with humans in the loop.
