ICD-10 Code J30.0 – Vasomotor Rhinitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J30.0 – Vasomotor rhinitis
What it is
J30.0 identifies vasomotor rhinitis, a nonallergic nasal condition marked by chronic irritation of the nasal lining. It is used when symptoms are not due to infection or a specific allergen.
Clinical signs
Common findings include runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, and postnasal drip. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for triggers such as temperature changes, odors, or other irritants.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents vasomotor rhinitis or nonallergic rhinitis with compatible nasal symptoms. It fits cases where the record rules out allergic rhinitis and infection. Code the condition only when the diagnosis is clearly stated or supported in the note.
Do not use for
Do not use J30.0 for allergic rhinitis, acute upper respiratory infection, or sinusitis. Check documentation if the cause of nasal symptoms is unclear or a different rhinitis type is named.
Coding tip
Match the code to the exact rhinitis type documented; if the note says nonallergic rhinitis without more detail, check documentation before assigning J30.0.
