Questions About J30Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for vasomotor and allergic rhinitis?

J30 is the ICD-10-CM category for vasomotor and allergic rhinitis, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is J30 (Vasomotor and allergic rhinitis) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for vasomotor and allergic rhinitis, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for vasomotor and allergic rhinitis need a more specific code from this category, such as J30.0, J30.1, and J30.2.

Can J30 be reported with J45.909?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on J30 lists "allergic rhinitis with asthma (bronchial) (J45.909)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
