What aspirin allergy ICD-10 codes can I use?
If you're looking for aspirin allergy ICD codes, please note that there are no ICD-10 codes that mention aspirin allergy in their names. That doesn't mean there aren't any!
The ICD-10 code you're looking for is Z88.6 - Allergy status to analgesic agent. This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient who is confirmed to be allergic to an analgesic agent.
If you're wondering what this has to do with aspirins, well, aspirins have analgesic properties. They are considered as “mild analgesics.” So, if your patient is allergic to aspirins, this is the best ICD-10 code you can use.
If the patient has an allergic reaction to an aspirin, the best code to pick is T39.95XA - Adverse effect of unspecified nonopioid analgesic, antipyretic and antirheumatic, initial encounter. This can be used if a patient is confirmed to have an adverse allergic reaction to a nonopioid analgesic. Use T39.95XD for secondary encounters, and T39.95XS for sequela cases.
Please note that you can't use these for allergies to biological substances and other non-analgesic substances.
