Hi everyone,
So... I have a question about ICD10 allergy codes. Let's say a kid comes into the office and has a documented allergy to peanuts, however he is not having a reaction. He is in the office to renew his EpiPen. Since he still currently has the allergy, is this a situation where I can use Z91.010? The guidelines specify it as a status code, however it is also used as a history code? Even if this isn't the right situation to use Z91.010, when is the appropriate time to use this code?
I am super confused about this... please help!
Thanks!
Carolyn
