NKA is the abbreviation for "no known allergies," meaning no known allergies of any sort. By contrast, NKDA stands exclusively for "no known drug allergies." If the abbreviation is not there and there is no notation of an allergy you know you have, let the healthcare provider know immediately.
Specific ICD-9-CM codes can identify patients with allergic drug reactions, with antibiotics accounting for almost half of true reactions. Most patients with codes 693.0, 995.1, 708, and 995.0 had allergic drug reactions, with 693.0 as the highest yield code.

Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status
V14.8 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of personal history of allergy to other specified medicinal agents. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
However, history codes (categories Z80-Z87) may be used as secondary codes if the historical condition or family history has an impact on current care or influences treatment."
Do not code conditions that were previously treated and no longer exist. However, history codes (categories Z80-Z87) may be used as secondary codes if the historical condition or family history has an impact on current care or influences treatment.".
There really is no such thing as a 'present allergy' - either the patient is currently having an allergic reaction and is being treated for it, or they have a known history of having had a reaction to something in the past. It's a normal part of every medical record to record medical history, and that should be a factor in most treatment decisions, but if the provider hasn't stated that somewhere in the note, then we shouldn't assume it. (Otherwise we would have to code all of the various history conditions that are in the record that have a corresponding code, not just allergies.) I would only code the history if the physician has noted in their assessment and plan that the allergy has somehow had a role in influencing their treatment choices. For example, a provider may include the drug allergy in the problem list, or may note that the patient's allergy prevents them from using the drug combination that they would optimally use for that problem.
Based on this, I would not code drug allergies from the history list unless the provider had specifically documented in the assessment or plan of care that this allergy had somehow played a role in the treatment for the current encounter.
The allergy status is found in the ICD-10-CM Index by looking under history, personal, allergy. The code description does not include personal history, which makes this condition difficult to locate in the Index. The specificity of the known allergy is found under this entry. Allergies can be specified to classes of medications and high-frequency food allergies. Some code examples of allergy status are:
There is an allergy status (patient has a known allergy to a food or substance) and an allergic reaction (patient is having a current reaction to a substance/food item). It is important that the documentation is specific to the circumstances as well as the cause to support accurate code assignment.
The manifestation of the allergic reaction is coded first (e.g. hives or gastrointestinal upset). Use T78.1 when the manifestation is unknown or undocumented.
This physician also noted that patients with allergies should have an action plan for any severe allergic reactions.
Some organizations do not code the allergy information on a routine basis. Determine if your provider or organization captures this information as part of their provider/organization-specific guidelines. Allergic reaction is found under the main term of “allergy” in the ICD-10-CM Index.
Z91.0 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Allergy status, other than to drugs and biological substances. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.
A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
