    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Where is the Food Allergy Institute (FAI) located? Are appointments in person?

      In-person appointments at one of our California locations are required throughout treatment. Our program is specifically tailored to meet the needs of families who travel, welcoming patients from different parts of the country to international patients from around the globe.

      The number of in-person visits may vary depending on the individual’s custom plan and the patient’s location. However, patients typically visit our clinic four to six times a year.

    • Is TIP a pill or an allergy shot? How is TIP different than what my local allergist offers?

      The Tolerance Induction Program™ (TIP) is not a one-size-fits-all pill or an allergy shot. TIP uses real, natural foods to treat patients through a personalized, data-driven approach.

      Unlike local allergists who introduce allergens on day one, TIP begins by safely escalating “similar” food proteins—non-allergenic proteins that mimic the structure of the allergen without triggering a reaction. This teaches the immune system to tolerate allergens over time, significantly reducing the risk before direct exposure occurs.

      The Food Allergy Institute is the world’s most comprehensive food allergy treatment center, uniting researchers, data scientists, allergy experts, and clinicians to deliver unmatched care and support throughout every stage of your child’s treatment. No other program offers TIP’s level of precision, quality, or results—at this scale.

    • Who is eligible for TIP treatment?

      The Tolerance Induction Program™(TIP) is available for qualifying patients between the age of 18 months – 25 years old. This includes patients with severe and multiple food allergies and pre-existing conditions.

      We welcome virtually all food allergy cases. Though the average treatment length may be longer for patients with comorbidities or pre-existing conditions, this does not prevent a child from being a candidate for TIP.  

    • How much does TIP treatment cost?

      Average out-of-pocket costs are $1,100 monthly for the duration of the program. An in-network PPO may cover up to 50% of this cost. We accept most PPOs from the following carriers: Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Blue Shield of California, and Health Net.

      Please note that Kaiser and most HMOs are not covered, and patients with these plans will be charged cash pay rates. Learn more about our new patient cash bundle here.
