The immunologist will do what is called a vaccine challenge. They give you a pneumococcal vaccine (sometimes a few other ones as well) and take bloodwork to see if your body is mounting an appropriate immune response. Many insurance companies will not approve IVIG without the vaccine challenge, but it depends on the insurance company.
