ICD-10 code E86. 0 for Dehydration is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
E86. 0 - Dehydration | ICD-10-CM.
The patient's primary diagnostic code is the most important. Assuming the patient's primary diagnostic code is Z76. 89, look in the list below to see which MDC's "Assignment of Diagnosis Codes" is first. That is the MDC that the patient will be grouped into.
Q: In ICD-10 how is dehydration with hypernatremia and dehydration with hyponatremia coded? A: Two codes are required to fully capture dehydration with hypernatremia E86. 0 and E87. 0 and dehydration with hyponatremia E86.
E86. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The objective of this article is to examine the coding of hydration with CPT® codes 96360, Intravenous infusion, hydration; initial, 31 minutes to 1 hour, and 96361, Intravenous infusion, hydration; each additional hour. The purpose of hydration intravenous (IV) infusion is to hydrate.

ICD-10 code Z71. 89 for Other specified counseling is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
ICD-10 code: Z76. 9 Person encountering health services in unspecified circumstances.
E87. 1 Hypo-osmolality and hyponatremia - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
Hyponatremia with hypo-osmolality of serum is produced by retention of water, by loss of sodium or both. It is always maintained by a defect in excretion of free water.

Determining whether to code primary or secondary – Most of the times it is difficult to determine whether we need to assign dehydration primary or secondary because it is often caused by some other condition and at the same time dehydration itself needed severe management. Hence dehydration is coded primary if it is the chief problem to get the patient admitted for further management. If not, place dehydration secondary.
Performing physical exam and signs and symptoms are enough to diagnose dehydration for a physician. Blood test and urinalysis are done to find out the severity of dehydration such as mild, moderate or severe.
P74.1 – Dehydration in newborn (from birth to 28 days)
For example, there is an assumption that AKI (acute kidney injury) should be coded first when patient is admitted with AKI and dehydration. But as per guideline main reason for admission should be coded first. Provider can be queried if not mentioned clearly.
Note: In this scenario patient is getting admitted for gastroenteritis management. As dehydration is mild, it can be managed on outpatient visits. Hence we coded gastroenteritis as primary followed by dehydration.
E86.0 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Dehydration . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM O99.283 became effective on October 1, 2021.
O99.283 is applicable to mothers in the third trimester of pregnancy, which is defined as between equal to or greater than 28 weeks since the first day of the last menstrual period. The following code (s) above O99.283 contain annotation back-references. Annotation Back-References.
Clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden decrease in glomerular filtration rate, usually associated with oliguria and always associated with biochemical consequences of the reduction in glomerular filtration rate such as a rise in blood urea nitrogen (bun) and serum creatinine concentrations.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N17.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A disorder characterized by the acute loss of renal function and is traditionally classified as pre-renal (low blood flow into kidney), renal (kidney damage) and post-renal causes (ureteral or bladder outflow obstruction).
Signs and symptoms of dehydration include irritability; confusion; dizziness; weakness; anorexia; extreme thirst; fever; dry skin and mucous membranes; sunken eyeballs; poor skin turgor; decreased urine output; and increased heart rate with falling blood pressure. Confusion is one of the best indicators that dehydration has become severe. Very severe dehydration can lead to coma. The treatment for dehydration is the replacement of body fluids with oral fluid intake or IV fluid replacement.
When the encounter is for the management of dehydration due to a malignancy and/or the therapy related to the malignancy, and only the dehydration is being treated, the dehydration is sequenced first, followed by the code (s) for the malignancy.
2. b. Adrenal metastasis, 198.7, is the condition after study to occasion the admission to the hospital; therefore it is assigned as the principal diagnosis. The dehydration, 276.51 is assigned next. The cancer of the lung, 162.9, is coded also. In this instance, during the hospitalization it was the CT scan that determined that the cause of the dehydration was the adrenal metastasis.
Volume depletion refers to the depletion of total body water (dehydration) or the depletion of the blood volume ( hypovolemia).
3. a. Assign code 042 for the HIV disease as the principal diagnosis, followed by 007.4, cryptosporidiosis. The workup during the hospital stay determined that the dehydration was due to the cryptosporidiosis, which is due to HIV. Dehydration, 276.51, is assigned as an additional secondary diagnosis.
When reporting volume depletion due to chemotherapy, it is also important to report code E933.1, Drugs, medicinal and biological substances, causing adverse effects in therapeutic use, antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs.
Blood volume may be maintained despite dehydration, with fluid being pulled from other tissues. Conversely, hypovolemia may occur without dehydration, when third-spacing of fluids occurs in patients such as those with significant edema or ascites.
