View ICD 9 to ICD 10-cmDiabetes Mellitus codes conversion for Type 1, Type 2, Genetic Diabetes, Diabetic Neuropathy, Diabetic Nephropathy, Diabetic Retinopathy, Gestational Diabetes, Diabetes with Hyperglycemia and other related Diabetic Diagnoses.
ICD-10 codes are expected to take effect as of the 1st of October 2014 with the recent revelation indicating a significant change in the codes that will be used to code Diabetes mellitus in comparison to the current codes in ICD-9. The resent revision shows an improvement in the coding of the disease.
Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which a person is characterized by high blood pressure either because of the pancreas not producing enough insulin or body cells not responding to insulin that is produced. ICD-10-CM codes will be used to compliment the current medical science ensuring feasible separation between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes Mellitus ICD 9 vs ICD 10 vs 10-cm Coding
The major difference in the coding of diabetes mellitus as compared to the current ICD-9 system will first be experienced in the classification of the disease. The current system only classifies the condition as either controlled or uncontrolled. ICD-10 will classify Diabetes mellitus as either inadequately controlled, out of control or poorly controlled based on the type of hyperglycemia. ICD-10-CM is a combination of codes that will be used to specify the type of diabetes mellitus, body system affected and the complications that the body is experiencing.
ICD 10-CM Codes for Diabetes Mellitus
For Medial Billing and Coding purpose, Diabetes mellitus will be covered by 5 major ICD codes namely:
- E08 Diabetes Mellitus due to Underlying Condition
- E09 Drug or Chemical Induced Diabetes Mellitus
- E10 Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- E11 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- E13 Other Specified Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes Mellitus ICD9 and ICD10 Coding Difference
ICD-9-CM codes for diabetes mellitus have the deficiency of only identifying the complication/manifestation of the condition. This is to change as ICD-10-CM will identify the type of diabetes as well as the complication/manifestation. When differentiating between the two types of diabetes ICD-9-CM uses Roman numerals while ICD-10-CM uses Arabic numbers.
ICD 10-cm Codes for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 with Hyperglycemia
ICD-10-CM code E11.40 will be used to specify diabetes mellitus type 2 with diabetic neuropathy while E11.65 ICD-10-CM code on its part will be used to specify diabetes type 2 with hyperglycemia.
ICD 10-cm Codes for Diabetes Neuropathy
Diabetes neuropathy is a condition that is thought to arise from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that transport blood to the supply nerves.
ICD 10-cm Code for Genetic Diabetes
E13 is an ICD-10-CM code that will be used to specify diabetes mellitus caused by genetic defects of beta-cell-function or due to genetic defects in the insulin action. The same code will also be used for Postprocedurial diabetes mellitus and secondary diabetes mellitus NEC.
ICD 10-cm Diabetic Retinopathy
If a female patient experiences severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema then ICD code that will be used in this case will be E10.341.
ICD 10-cm Coding for Diabetic Mellitus Type 1 and 2
There will be no need for addition of another code in this case as there is a combination code for the type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus with foot ulcer will be specified by the ICD-10 code E11.621. E10.69 is an ICD-10 code that will be used to specify type 1 diabetes mellitus with specified complication. EO8.69 will be used to specify diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with other specified conditions.
