Used for medical claim reporting in all healthcare settings, ICD-10-CM is a standardized classification system of diagnosis codes that represent conditions and diseases, related health problems, abnormal findings, signs and symptoms, injuries, external causes of injuries and diseases, and social circumstances.
Work on ICD-10 began in 1983, became endorsed by the Forty-third World Health Assembly in 1990, and was first used by member states in 1994. It was replaced by ICD-11 on February 11, 2022. While WHO manages and publishes the base version of the ICD, several member states have modified it to better suit their needs.

A disorder of lipoprotein metabolism characterized by high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It is caused by elevation of low density and very low density lipoproteins.
09: Other abnormal glucose.
ICD-10 code E78. 2 for Mixed hyperlipidemia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (or mixed hyperlipidemia) is a genetic disorder that passes from one family member to another through their genes. If you have this disease, it means you have higher-than-usual levels of: cholesterol. triglycerides. other lipids in your blood.
Hemoglobin A1c Tests: Your doctor might order a hemoglobin A1c lab test. This test measures how well your blood glucose has been controlled over the past 3 months. Medicare may cover this test for anyone with diabetes if it is ordered by his or her doctor.

You wouldn't code them together. Cholesterol is a type of lipid. If the provider diagnosed pure hypercholesterolemia, you would code that. It is more specific than hyperlipidemia, unspecified.
272.2ICD-9 code 272.2 for Mixed hyperlipidemia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -OTHER METABOLIC AND IMMUNITY DISORDERS (270-279).
Change: ICD-10 offers a one-to-one code match with ICD-9 for pure hypercholesterolemia (272.0, E78. 0), pure hyperglyceridemia (272.1, E78. 1), and mixed hyperlipidemia (272.2, E78. 2).
Mixed hyperlipidemia, also called familial combined hyperlipidemia, is a condition that causes elevated levels of fats in the blood, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) and triglycerides. Mixed hyperlipidemia can be passed down through families.
You may hear the term hyperlipidemia used interchangeably with dyslipidemia. But that's not entirely accurate. Hyperlipidemia refers to high levels of LDL or triglycerides. Dyslipidemia can refer to levels that are either higher or lower than the normal range for those blood fats.
Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) means your blood has too many lipids (fats) in it. These can add up and lead to blockages in your blood vessels. This is why high cholesterol can put you at risk for a stroke or heart attack.
Hypertriglyceridemia denotes high (hyper-) blood levels (-emia) of triglycerides, the most abundant fatty molecule in most organisms. Elevated levels of triglycerides are associated with atherosclerosis, even in the absence of hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels), and predispose to cardiovascular disease.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 272.2 was previously used, E78.2 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
