ICD-10 Code J30.8 – Other allergic rhinitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J30.8 – Other allergic rhinitis
What it is
Use this code for allergic rhinitis caused by an allergen or pattern not specifically named elsewhere. It covers nasal allergy symptoms when the record identifies an allergic cause but not seasonal or perennial rhinitis.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itching of the nose or eyes. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the specific allergen or presentation.
When to use this code
Use J30.8 when the clinician documents allergic rhinitis and specifies an “other” allergic trigger, or when the allergy is clearly nonseasonal but not classified as perennial. It may also fit mixed or unusual allergic rhinitis patterns if documentation supports an allergic cause.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for infectious rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis, or unspecified rhinitis. If the record names seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis instead, choose the more specific code.
Coding tip
Check the note for the exact allergic trigger and whether a more specific rhinitis code is documented before assigning J30.8.
