About T78.080A
T78.080A is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for anaphylactic reaction due to egg with tolerance to baked egg, initial encounter. It belongs to category T78 (adverse effects, not elsewhere classified), block T66-T78 (other and unspecified effects of external causes) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "A" means initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 915 (Allergic Reactions with MCC, relative weight 1.6558) and DRG 916 (Allergic Reactions without MCC, relative weight 0.6928), in MDC 21 (Injuries, Poisonings and Toxic Effects of Drugs), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It was added in FY2026, effective October 1, 2025.
