Oth ad rct d/t milk and dair prod with rct to bkd milk, init

This code signifies an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction to milk and dairy products, specifically when the patient exhibits reactivity even to milk that has been heated or baked. This indicates a more severe or persistent milk allergy, as many individuals with milk allergies can tolerate baked milk due to protein denaturation.

Use this code when documenting an initial encounter for a patient presenting with symptoms such as hives, angioedema, gastrointestinal distress, or respiratory issues following the ingestion of baked milk products. This is appropriate for the first time a provider evaluates and treats this specific adverse reaction.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies reactivity to "baked milk" to differentiate from general milk allergy.
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for the condition; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
• Code any associated symptoms separately if they are significant and require additional documentation.
