J3089 - Other types of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) not caused by pollen
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code refers to allergic rhinitis (commonly called hay fever) that is caused by allergens other than seasonal pollen. This includes year-round allergies to things like dust mites, pet dander, mold, or other indoor/outdoor allergens that cause symptoms like sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and postnasal drip. Unlike seasonal allergies that occur during specific times of year, this type of allergic rhinitis may happen throughout the year depending on exposure to the triggering allergen.
Additional Information
This is a chronic condition that can usually be well-managed with proper treatment and allergen avoidance. The office visit likely involved discussing symptoms, triggers, and treatment options.
