ICD-10 Code J30.89 – Other allergic rhinitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J30.89 – Other allergic rhinitis
What it is
Use this code for allergic rhinitis that does not fit a more specific subtype. It describes nasal allergy symptoms triggered by allergens, with the exact cause or pattern not otherwise specified.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the allergen source and whether symptoms are seasonal, perennial, or otherwise classified.
When to use this code
Use J30.89 when the record documents allergic rhinitis but does not identify a more specific category such as pollen-related or due to a known trigger. It is appropriate when the provider states “other allergic rhinitis” or gives an allergic rhinitis diagnosis without further detail. Code only when the documentation supports an allergic cause.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonallergic rhinitis, infectious rhinitis, or sinusitis. If the chart identifies a more specific allergic rhinitis type, choose that code instead.
Coding tip
Check the note for the exact allergen or subtype before defaulting to J30.89.
