J30Vasomotor and allergic rhinitis

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

J30 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for vasomotor and allergic rhinitis. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • allergic rhinitis with asthma (bronchial) (J45.909)
  • rhinitis NOS (J31.0)

Includes

Conditions this code covers.

  • spasmodic rhinorrhea

Other codes that can never be billed with J30

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at J30. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading J30 alone.

  • J31.0Chronic rhinitis
  • T78.4Other and unspecified allergy

Risk adjustment

J30 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead J30

6 child codes. Green means billable.
