[kumeena]

Hi All,

Patient is known to fish allergy and went to restaurant. Due to smell (fish) got allergic reaction. is it OK to code 995.69 (Anaphylactic reaction due to food)?

He did not consume any food which contains fish in the restaurant..

Thank you & Happy Thanksgiving.

995.65 would be a more detailed code.
