Would like opinions on what would be appropriate E code for angioedema (995.1), or if it is an exception and does not require one. Have considered E928.0 and E988.9 as I code for emergency ambulance and may not know the cause only the DX. Any help appreciated. Thanks

All 800-900 code require E-Codes. For this code I would use the drug/substance/chemical/plant that caused the reaction.
To find that you would go to the table of drugs and chemicals.

995.1 is in the category 995 Certain adverse effects not elsewhere classified so it is an adverse reaction to a drug or chemical. you will need to know the drug and find your E code from the table of drugs an chemicals.
