J30.5
BillableAllergic rhinitis due to food
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This is an allergic reaction affecting the nose and nasal passages that is triggered by eating certain foods. Symptoms may include sneezing, nasal congestion, and itching in the nose.
Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation specifies the allergic rhinitis is food-related rather than environmental (pollen, dust, etc.) before assigning this code
- •Consider coding the specific food allergen using an additional code from category Z91.0 (Allergy status) if the triggering food is documented
