If a pt is allergic to niacin or Vitamin C, do you code that as V15.05- allergy to other foods, or V14.8- allergy to other meds?
I am thinking it should be coded as other food, since these are naturally occurring substances found in foods. Even if you take it in supplement form to treat something, wouldn't it still be considered a food?
I welcome your thoughts.
Thank you!
