Implementation Guidance

  • •Review all FY 2026 updates for V10-Y109 codes before implementation
  • •Always verify the most current codes in the ICD-10-CM manual
  • •Ensure clinical documentation supports the selected diagnosis codes
  • +3 more guidance items...

Range Overview

high priority

The ICD-10 code range E08-E13 is specifically designed to cover all types of Diabetes Mellitus including Type 1, Type 2, gestational, drug-induced, and other specified diabetes mellitus. These codes are used to document the presence and type of diabetes, as well as any complications or manifestations associated with the condition.

Key Usage Points:

  • •Always specify the type of diabetes when coding.
  • •Include secondary codes for any complications or manifestations.
  • •Use additional codes to indicate insulin use.
  • •Differentiate between controlled and uncontrolled diabetes.
  • •Use combination codes for diabetes with associated conditions.

Coding Guidelines

When to Use:

  • ✓When a patient has been diagnosed with any type of diabetes.
  • ✓When a patient has diabetes-related complications or manifestations.
  • ✓When a patient's diabetes is not well controlled.
  • ✓When a patient's diabetes is associated with another condition.

When NOT to Use:

  • ✗When a patient has prediabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.
  • ✗When a patient has a family history of diabetes, but no current diagnosis.
  • ✗When a patient has symptoms of diabetes, but no confirmed diagnosis.
  • ✗When a patient has gestational diabetes, but it has resolved postpartum.

Code Exclusions

Always verify exclusions and use the most specific code available.

Documentation Requirements

Accurate documentation is crucial for correct diabetes coding. It should include the type of diabetes, control status, and any complications or associated conditions.

Clinical Information:

  • •Type of diabetes
  • •Control status
  • •Complications or manifestations
  • •Associated conditions
  • •Insulin use

Supporting Evidence:

  • •Lab results
  • •Clinical notes
  • •Medication records
  • •Specialist reports
Good Documentation Example:

Patient has Type 2 diabetes, uncontrolled, with peripheral neuropathy. On insulin therapy.

Poor Documentation Example:

Diabetes

Common Documentation Errors:

  • âš Not specifying the type of diabetes
  • âš Not documenting control status
  • âš Not including complications or associated conditions
  • âš Not indicating insulin use

Coding Complexity

Medium
Complexity Rating

Coding for diabetes requires a thorough understanding of the condition, its types, complications, and associated conditions. It also requires careful review of clinical documentation to determine control status and insulin use.

Key Factors:
  • â–¸Determining the type of diabetes
  • â–¸Identifying and coding complications
  • â–¸Coding associated conditions
  • â–¸Differentiating between controlled and uncontrolled diabetes
  • â–¸Identifying insulin use

Specialty Focus

Endocrinology is the primary specialty using these codes, but they are also used in primary care, obstetrics, and other specialties.

Clinical Scenarios:
  • • Type 1 diabetes with diabetic nephropathy
  • • Type 2 diabetes, uncontrolled, with diabetic retinopathy
  • • Gestational diabetes, diet controlled
  • • Drug-induced diabetes with hyperglycemia
  • • Type 2 diabetes with peripheral neuropathy

Resources & References

Several resources are available for coding diabetes, including the ICD-10 manual, official coding guidelines, and clinical references.

Official Guidelines:

  • ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting
  • American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) Coding Guidelines
  • Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Coding Guidelines

Clinical References:

  • American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes
  • Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guidelines

Educational Materials:

  • AHIMA ICD-10 Training Modules
  • CMS ICD-10 Coding Resources

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I code for a patient with Type 2 diabetes and hypertension?

Use a combination code from the E11 (Type 2 diabetes) range for the diabetes and an appropriate code from the I10-I15 (hypertensive diseases) range for the hypertension. If the hypertension is directly caused by the diabetes, use a code from the E11.2 range (Type 2 diabetes with kidney complications).
