As summer starts to give way to fall, and the first cool front arrives, many patients brace for seasonal allergies. While ragweed often steals the spotlight, fall allergy sufferers face a broader spectrum of triggers—from varied pollen sources to mold and dust mites. For many providers, this season presents an opportunity to extend comprehensive, compassionate care by offering in‑house allergy testing and treatment through a partnership with United Allergy Services (UAS).
The Hidden Mix of Fall Allergens
Patients may attribute sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes solely to ragweed—but fall is a tapestry of allergens. Beyond ragweed, other weed pollens join the mix, while mold spores rise with damp, decaying leaves. When temperatures get cool enough to drive people indoors, dust mites can quietly aggravate symptoms. This multi‑layered scenario often overlaps with colds or asthma, complicating diagnosis. By harnessing in‑office allergy testing, providers can offer clarity at the earliest point of contact.
Personalized Diagnosis—Right in Your Office
United Allergy Services empowers practices to deliver allergy testing where patients already seek care. Using minimally invasive skin prick tests—covering a broad panel of environmental allergens including weeds, grasses, molds, and dust mites—providers can pinpoint the culprits swiftly and accurately. Waiting for referrals becomes unnecessary; instead, care starts immediately, grounded in the specifics of that patient’s sensitivities.
Flexible Treatment Options for Modern Lifestyles
Once allergens are identified, practices can seamlessly transition into treatment—choosing between allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy) or Allergy Allay Drops®, UAS’s custom-formulated sublingual immunotherapy. Allergy shots are FDA‑approved and covered by most insurance plans; they’re administered in-office or at home following provider training and safety protocols. Allergy Allay Drops® offer a needle‑free alternative, tailored to each patient’s test results and history, increasing in dosage to build tolerance over time. Patients appreciate the convenience and flexibility—especially those hesitant about injections.
Embedded Expertise, Minimal Disruption
Through its ancillary service model, UAS enables primary care, pediatric, ENT, and pulmonology practices to deliver advanced allergy care while reducing administrative burdens. In the UAS-staffed model, a Clinical Allergy Specialist (CAS) integrates into the practice, handling testing logistics, patient education, and protocol administration under physician supervision; this model respects physician time while maintaining clinical control. For practices not ready for full-scale integration, UAS offers self-managed Testing & Immunotherapy Kits, supplying all necessary materials and online resources—at a low-cost entry point that still elevates patient care.
Benefits to both Patients and Medical Practice
This approach yields a compelling win-win. Patients receive timely, accurate care in a familiar environment, empowering them to manage symptoms before the worst of fall allergy season hits. With immunotherapy—whether shots or drops—they stand a real chance of long-term allergy relief, rather than merely masking symptoms.
At the same time, medical practices expand their service offerings, retain more patients, and unlock new revenue streams. A case study from December 2024, for example, describes how a mixed adult-and-pediatric clinic implemented UAS’s in‑house testing and immunotherapy. Since bringing allergy care in-house, the practice reduced sick visits, improved patient compliance, and realized consistent ancillary revenue—often exceeding six figures annually.
Backed by Proven Protocols
United Allergy Services has been empowering medical practices since 2009, with over 2,500 partnering practitioners across more than 20 states conducting hundreds of thousands of tests and millions of treatments. Our protocols have a proven track record and have been used by more people than any other immunotherapy treatment in the US.
Fall Is Closer than it Appears
The key to winning the battle against allergies this fall lies in getting ahead. Partnering with UAS means being ready before patients begin scrambling for over-the-counter relief. Whether opting for the full-service allergy center or a kit-based model, integrating allergen testing and immunotherapy positions your practice as a true ally in patient wellness—offering solutions that go beyond the sniffle.
