T78.120A
ICD-10-CMOther adverse food reaction due to egg with tolerance to baked egg, initial encounter
This code signifies an adverse reaction to egg consumption, specifically when the patient experiences symptoms from non-baked egg but can tolerate baked egg products. This indicates a specific type of egg allergy or sensitivity where the allergenic proteins are denatured by heat.
Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient's adverse reaction to egg, such as hives, gastrointestinal upset, or anaphylaxis, but also explicitly notes their ability to consume baked goods containing egg without issue. This is typically used for the initial presentation and diagnosis of such a reaction.
