Sublingual Immunotherapy for Seasonal Allergy Treatment

Some frequently asked questions about SLIT:

IS IT SAFE? Yes! SLIT is very safe, for both adults and children as young as 4 months. It is safer and gentler than shots and is able to be administered at home once allergy testing is done and a care plan is established by your provider.​​​​​​​​

DOES IT REALLY WORK? Yep! Many published scientific studies have shown that it significantly reduces allergy symptoms. SLIT is repeated throughout the allergy season, or sometimes year round, and is recommended to be continued for 3-5 years to help the body build lasting, lifelong immunity.​​​​​​​​

DOES INSURANCE COVER IT? Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not cover SLIT. We offer many payment options and we can also provide a superbill to be submitted to insurance if you’d like to try for coverage assistance. SLIT is pretty economical, however, especially when compared to allergy shots. SLIT averages to about $45/month. For root cause treatment and lasting relief from allergies, the cost is worth it!​​​​​​​​

HOW DO IT GET IT? 👉 Make an appointment with us or your pediatrician for a visit where we will discuss your individual needs, any testing or additional treatments needed, and develop a plan. Once a plan is a established, it’s possible to administer future doses of SLIT from the comfort of home.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? 👉 Cost is specific per patient based on the unique plan developed by the provider, but it averages around $45/month.

IS TREATMENT CUSTOMIZED? 👉 Yes, SLIT treatment is specific to each child. We will see your child for a visit where we will determine what testing is needed in order to develop a customized plan.
