ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 477.9 : Allergic rhinitis, cause unspecified.
Allergic rhinitis is where your nose gets irritated by something you're allergic to, such as pollen, causing sneezing and other symptoms. For most people it's easy to treat with medicines from a pharmacist.
There are two main types of allergic rhinitis: seasonal (occurs certain times of the year) and perennial (happens all year).
Rhinitis – Inflammation of the mucus membrane in the nose. Sinusitis – Inflammation in the cavities surrounding the nasal passages (the sinuses)
J30. 2 - Other seasonal allergic rhinitis | ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code R09. 81 for Nasal congestion is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10 code J30. 1 for Allergic rhinitis due to pollen is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
Diagnostic Testing The most common diagnostic tests for allergic rhinitis are the percutaneous skin test and the allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody test.
In the past, allergic rhinitis was considered to be a disorder localized to the nose and nasal passages, but current evidence indicates that it may represent a component of a systemic airway disease involving the entire respiratory tract.
According to ARIA, allergic rhinitis is categorized based on symptom duration, intermittent and persistent, and severity, mild–moderate and severe.
Symptoms of rhinitis include: sneezing, stuffy, runny, and itchy nose, and itchy throat, eyes, and ears, nosebleeds, clear drainage from the nose, ear infections that keep coming back, snoring, breathing through the mouth, and tiredness. Preventive measures for rhinitis include avoiding what you are allergic to.
There is no cure for allergic rhinitis, but the effects of the condition can be lessened with the use of nasal sprays and antihistamine medications. A doctor may recommend immunotherapy - a treatment option that can provide long-term relief. Steps can also be taken to avoid allergens.
Allergic rhinitis can lead to sinusitis. This happens when swollen or blocked nasal passages promote bacterial growth and lead to infection.

On the other hand, if a pregnant patient presents with a problem NOT related to pregnancy, such as flu, code the condition the patient came in with and then use the V code V22.2 for the management of the pregnancy as incidental.
What that line intimates is that the coder should always code V22.2 when the dx is the flu and the patient is pregnant and that is not true. The provider must state that the pregnancy is incidental to the flu.
The doctor has to document if the problem is NOT affecting the pregnancy. The coder must code using the chapter 11 codes first listed. V22.2 can only be used if the provider documents this.

The problem does not need to be pregnancy related only that the treatment affect the management of the pregnancy and any medication does. Look at 648 codes ..
