Other disorders of thyroid
Chapter 4:Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
ICD-10 E07 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other disorders of thyroid.
E07 encompasses a variety of thyroid disorders that do not fall under the more common categories of hyperthyroidism (E05) or hypothyroidism (E03). This code is used for conditions such as thyroiditis, goiter, and other non-toxic thyroid disorders that may arise from autoimmune processes, iodine deficiency, or other underlying health issues. Iodine deficiency, a significant global health concern, can lead to goiter and hypothyroidism, while autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease can cause abnormal thyroid function. Patients may present with symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, and mood disturbances, necessitating thorough thyroid function tests (TFTs) to assess levels of thyroid hormones (T3, T4) and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Accurate diagnosis and coding are crucial, as these disorders can significantly impact metabolic processes and overall health.
Detailed clinical notes on thyroid function tests, patient history, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with fatigue, weight changes, or goiter requiring evaluation of thyroid function.
Ensure all lab results are documented and correlate with clinical findings for accurate coding.
Comprehensive patient history, symptom assessment, and referral notes to specialists if necessary.
Routine screening for thyroid disorders in patients with risk factors or presenting symptoms.
Document any referrals to endocrinology for further evaluation to support coding.
Used to evaluate thyroid function in patients suspected of having thyroid disorders.
Document the reason for the test and correlate with clinical findings.
Endocrinologists may require more detailed lab results and patient history.
Ordered when evaluating for hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
Include indications for testing and results in the patient's record.
Primary care providers should document symptoms leading to testing.
E07 includes various thyroid disorders such as thyroiditis, goiter, and other non-toxic thyroid conditions that do not fall under hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
E07 is used for other thyroid disorders that are not classified as hyperthyroidism (E05) or hypothyroidism (E03). Ensure that the specific condition is documented to select the appropriate code.
