Questions About Z91.041Overview

Is Z91.041 (Nonmedicinal substance allergy status) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report radiographic dye allergy status on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

Can Z91.041 be a principal diagnosis?

No. The Medicare Code Editor rejects this code as a principal diagnosis because radiographic dye allergy status describes a circumstance that influences health status rather than a current illness. Report it as a secondary diagnosis.

Is Z91.041 exempt from POA reporting?

Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for radiographic dye allergy status on inpatient claims.

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, radiographic dye allergy status converts to ICD-9-CM V15.08 (hx-radiogrphc dye allrgy). The mapping is a direct match.
