ajasfolks2:
Anyone have handy a current copy of the ICD9 coding book?

What I'm looking for is the diagnoses codes for food allergy.

For now, specifically peanut.

And the modifier too.

Should be 995 ish?

Also, any related V codes.

One of the things I'm looking for is --

is there a modifier on Peanut Allergy that indicates delineation for

INGESTION ONLY

and one for

INGESTION AND CONTACT

GoingNuts:
I emailed this to myself so I can check at work tomorrow. There has to be a copy around somewhere.

V15.01 = personal history of allergy to peanuts. In searching online I can't find any designation more specific to that.

995.61 = anaphylaxis due to peanuts

ajasfolks2:
Thank you, both!

Now, is there any additional modifier as to the means of transport of allergen into body?

Again, what I'm trying to determine is

contact and ingestion (either, or, both)

actually GIVEN an ICD-9 modifier?

For starters, anyway.

Today. ;)

Certainly this thread invites anyone with specific professional medical training to add any comments or questions.

And anyone else, for that matter.

:yes:

rebekahc:
Well, I couldn't find any additional modifiers unless you added one for contact dermatitis or something. But I think that would not be standard and would just be a separate dx?

ETA: did some more searching. The article is older, but might give you a starting point to use in one of those other links I posted earlier.
