Oth ad rcts d/t milk /dair prod w tolerance to bkd milk,init

This code describes an adverse food reaction specifically to milk and dairy products, where the patient demonstrates tolerance to baked milk. It signifies an immunological or non-immunological reaction that is not IgE-mediated, distinguishing it from a true milk allergy.

Use this code for patients experiencing symptoms like gastrointestinal distress, skin rashes, or respiratory issues after consuming milk or dairy, but who can tolerate milk in baked goods. This is often seen in cases of non-IgE mediated milk protein intolerance or other adverse reactions where the protein structure is altered by heat.

• Ensure documentation clearly distinguishes from IgE-mediated milk allergy (L27.2) and lactose intolerance (E73.-).
• Verify the "initial encounter" (A) for the first time a patient is seen for this condition. Subsequent encounters will use different seventh characters.
• Look for specific mention of tolerance to baked milk in the provider's notes to justify this specific code.
