ICD Code J30.2

ICD code J30.2 is used to classify and code the diagnosis of other seasonal allergic rhinitis, which refers to allergic reactions that occur at specific times of the year, often triggered by pollen from trees, grasses, or weeds. This code helps healthcare providers document and communicate the condition for billing and treatment purposes.

1. Seasonal Occurrence: The symptoms must be linked to specific seasons, typically occurring during spring, summer, or early fall when pollen levels are high.

2. Nasal Congestion: Persistent nasal congestion that worsens during certain times of the year.

3. Runny Nose: A clear, watery nasal discharge that is more prevalent during specific seasons.

4. Sneezing: Frequent sneezing episodes that coincide with seasonal changes.

5. Itchy Nose and Throat: Itching sensations in the nose and throat that are more pronounced during certain times of the year.

6. Watery Eyes: Increased tearing and eye irritation that align with seasonal patterns.

7. Environmental Triggers: Symptoms that are exacerbated by exposure to outdoor allergens such as pollen from trees, grasses, or weeds.

8. Family History: A family history of allergic conditions, which may predispose individuals to seasonal allergic reactions.

9. Symptom Relief with Antihistamines: Improvement of symptoms with the use of antihistamines or other allergy medications, indicating an allergic cause.

10. Negative for Other Causes: Exclusion of other potential causes of rhinitis, such as infections or non-allergic rhinitis, through clinical evaluation.
