Ear, nose, and throat allergic assessment plays an integral role in the evaluation and care of approximately 25% of patients seen in a general otolaryngology practice. With the advances in health care delivery and the influence of managed care organizations, physicians are asked to render cost-effective evaluation and management of their patients. This article examines the economic issues and historical data regarding the work-up of patients with suspected allergic problems. Relative cost-benefits of different modalities of treatments, including avoidance techniques, pharmacotherapy, and immunotherapy, are discussed.
