Please help with this ICD-10 code for milk protein intolerance - I got Z91.011- however the provider doesn't agree with this. He said "None of those truly fit as milk protein intolerance is not an allergy to milk" the
more concerning is the inflammatory reaction/bleeding that happens with the
disease"

Thank you
 
If you go into the index under "intolerance, milk NEC" it leads you to K90.4 - Malabsorption due to intolerance, not elsewhere classified

Under K90.4 in the tabular it also says "Malabsorption due to intolerance to protein"
 
Thank you, Sean

After I spoke with my trainer, we both agree with K90.4
