Oth ad rct d/t milk /dair prod w bkd milk tol/rct,unsp,init

This code signifies an adverse reaction to milk and dairy products where the patient can tolerate baked milk, but the specific nature of the reaction (e.g., allergic, intolerance) is not documented. It indicates the initial encounter for this particular adverse food reaction.

Use this code when a patient presents with symptoms of an adverse reaction to milk or dairy, but specifically reports being able to consume baked milk without issue. This code is appropriate when the provider has not yet determined if the reaction is an allergy, intolerance, or other type of adverse event, and it is the first time the patient is being seen for this condition.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient's tolerance to baked milk.
• Only use for the initial encounter; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Do not use if the type of adverse reaction (e.g., allergy, intolerance) is specified in the medical record.
