Book a Consultation
Start with a personalized estimate
A personalized estimate is the most useful place to start because food allergy history, treatment goals, and insurance benefits are different for every patient. Contact The Food Allergy Clinic to discuss The Paris OIT Program with a member of the Paris Asthma & Allergy Centers team in Livonia or Brighton.
We will explain the anticipated clinical path, what the office can confirm, and which questions to ask your insurer. This conversation is designed to give your family more clarity, more control, and more peace of mind—not to pressure you into a decision.
A program designed to keep care coordinated
The Paris OIT Program is structured around ongoing, in-person specialty care rather than a series of disconnected appointments. According to Dr. Jason C. Paris, MD, oral immunotherapy is a long-term, individualized treatment discussion that should be planned around safety, follow-through, and the patient’s real life.
What may be included in The Paris OIT Program
The current program structure is intended to include phone support, scheduled visits, observed up-dosing visits, and pre-prepared OIT doses as clinically appropriate. This structure and every included service must be confirmed by the office before publication and before a patient receives an estimate.
Insurance guidance before you begin
Insurance benefits for food allergy evaluation, visits, testing, and oral immunotherapy can vary by plan, deductible, network, and medical-necessity requirements. The Food Allergy Clinic will help you identify the right questions, but your insurer is the final source for benefit and out-of-pocket information.
Plans accepted by Paris Asthma & Allergy Centers
Paris Asthma & Allergy Centers currently lists BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, United, Medicare, Humana, Priority Health, and Tricare. Acceptance by the practice does not guarantee coverage for a particular food allergy or OIT-related service.
Payment plans and HSA/FSA questions
Payment plans may be available for eligible patients, and HSA or FSA funds may be usable for qualifying medical expenses. The office can explain its current payment options, while your plan administrator can confirm whether a particular expense is eligible and what documentation is required.
Do not delay a cost conversation because you do not have every answer yet. A clear estimate and a benefits check can help you understand the options before you commit to a treatment path.
Local care can simplify the full cost of treatment
Care delivered in Livonia and Brighton may reduce the practical burden that comes with repeatedly traveling out of state for food allergy treatment. Families can discuss OIT with a local, in-person specialist team and return for scheduled care without building flights, hotels, long-distance logistics, or separate travel days into every step.
Local care also keeps The Paris OIT Program connected to Paris Asthma & Allergy Centers, the practice that has served Southeast Michigan since 1966. Dr. Jason C. Paris, MD personally supervises up-dosing; that physician-led continuity matters when the plan needs to fit school, work, family routines, and other allergy or asthma care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How much does oral immunotherapy cost at The Food Allergy Clinic?

Payment plans may be available. Ask the office about current options, eligibility, timing, and terms when you request a personalized estimate.
