ICD-10 Code Z79. 4, Long-term (current) use of insulin should be assigned to indicate that the patient uses insulin for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (Category E11* codes). Z79.
E10 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
ICD-10 code: E11. 22 Type 2 diabetes mellitus With renal complications With other multiple complications, controlled.
E11. 22 states within its code DM with CKD therefore it is a more accurate code than E11. 21 which is just DM with Nephropathy (any kidney condition).
Type 2 diabetes mellitus with unspecified complications E11. 8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E11. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other circulatory complicationsICD-10 Code for Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other circulatory complications- E11. 59- Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10-CM Code for Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other specified complication E11. 69.
E11. 22, Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic CKD. I12. 9, hypertensive CKD with stage 1 through 4 CKD, or unspecified CKD.
Code N18. 6, end-stage renal disease, is to be reported for CKD that requires chronic dialysis. relationship between diabetes and CKD when both conditions are documented in the medical record.
If you look in the alphabetical index under diabetes/diabetic with neuropathy it is E11. 40 (type 2 DM with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified). You cannot go with E11. 42 because that is specifically with polyneuropathy which is not documented.
So yes, use the appropriate combination codes, being E11. 22, I12. 9 and N18. 3.
Type 1 diabetes was once called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes. It usually develops in children, teens, and young adults, but it can happen at any age. Type 1 diabetes is less common than type 2—about 5-10% of people with diabetes have type 1.
4.
People with type 2 diabetes may require insulin when their meal plan, weight loss, exercise and antidiabetic drugs do not achieve targeted blood glucose (sugar) levels. Diabetes is a progressive disease and the body may require insulin injections to compensate for declining insulin production by the pancreas.
E08, Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition.
For gestational diabetes (diabetes that occurs during pregnancy) women should be assigned a code under the 024.4 subheading and not any other codes under the 024 category.
E11 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. ICD Code E11 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the eight child codes of E11 that describes the diagnosis ‘type 2 diabetes mellitus’ in more detail.
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS) Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is a complication of diabetes mellitus (predominantly type 2) in which high blood sugars cause severe dehydration, increases in osmolar ity (relative concentration of solute) and a high risk of complications, coma, and death. It is diagnosed with blood tests.
E11.01 Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperosmolar ity with coma
The code for long-term use of insulin, Z79.4, should also be used in these cases (unless insulin was just given to the patient as a one-time fix to bring blood sugar under control).
The code for long-term use of insulin, Z79.4, should also be used in these cases (unless insulin was just given to the patient as a one-time fix to bring blood sugar under control). Note that the word “with” in the code titles always means “associated with” or “due to” (it doesn’t refer to two disparate conditions).
The “unspecified” codes can be used when not enough information is known to give a more specific diagnosis; in that case, “unspecified” is technically more accurate than a more specific but as yet unconfirmed diagnosis.

ICD-10 codes refer to the codes from the 10th Revision of the classification system. ICD-10 officially replaced ICD-9 in the US in October of 2015.
The switch to ICD-10 was a response to the need for doctors to record more specific and accurate diagnoses based on the most recent advancements in medicine. For this reason, there are five times more ICD-10 codes than there were ICD-9 codes. The ICD-10 codes consist of three to seven characters that may contain both letters and numbers.
The “unspecified” codes can be used when not enough information is known to give a more specific diagnosis; in that case, “unspecified” is technically more accurate than a more specific but as yet unconfirmed diagnosis. For more guidelines on using ICD-10 codes for diabetes mellitus, you can consult this document.
Here's a conversion table that translates the old ICD-9 codes for diabetes to ICD-10 codes. There weren’t as many codes to describe different conditions in the ICD-9, so you’ll notice that some of them have more than one possible corresponding ICD-10 code. Some are also translated into a combination of two ICD-10 codes (note the use of the word "and").
Hypertension concurrent and due to end stage renal disease on dialysis due to type 2 diabetes mellitus
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E11.22 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Follow the instructions in the Tabular List of ICD-10-CM for proper sequencing of these diagnosis codes. For example, if a patient has secondary diabetes as a result of Cushing’s syndrome and no other manifestations, report code E24.9 Cushing’s syndrome, unspecified, followed by E08.9 Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition without manifestations. If a patient is diagnosed with secondary diabetes due to the adverse effects of steroids, report codes E09.9 Drug or chemical induced diabetes without complications and T38.0X5A Adverse effect of glucocorticoids and synthetic analogues, initial encounter.
Codes for gestational diabetes are in subcategory O24.4. These codes include treatment modality — diet alone, oral hypoglycemic drugs, insulin — so you do not need to use an additional code to specify medication management. Do not assign any other codes from category O24 with the O24.4 subcategory codes.
In patients with type 2 diabetes, problems begin when the cells in their body start to not respond to insulin as well as they should. This is called insulin resistance, which causes high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). The pancreas responds by making more insulin to try and manage the hyperglycemia, but eventually, the pancreas can’t keep up and blood sugar levels rise. Left uncontrolled, the disease progresses into prediabetes and, eventually, type 2 diabetes. This is the most common type of diabetes and is initially treated with lifestyle modification including a healthy diet and exercise. If these measures are not effective, treatment generally starts with an oral hypoglycemic agent. If better control is needed, injectable medications or insulin may be initiated to help manage blood sugar levels and avoid complications.
Report encounters related to pregnancy and diabetes using codes in Chapter 15 Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium. If a pregnant woman has pre-existing diabetes that complicates the pregnancy, Chapter 15 guidelines instruct us to assign a code from O24 first, followed by the appropriate diabetes code (s) from Chapter 4 (E08–E13). Report codes Z79.4 or Z79.84 if applicable.
Secondary diabetes — DM that results as a consequence of another medical condition — is addressed in Chapter 4 guidelines. These codes, found under categories E08, E09, and E13, should be listed first, followed by the long-term therapy codes for insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents.
Type 1.5 diabetes is a form of diabetes in which an adult has features of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. These patients have also been described with the terms “latent autoimmune diabetes of adults” (LADA), and “slow-progressing type 1 diabetes.” The condition has also been called “double” diabetes, because individuals demonstrate both the autoimmune destruction of beta cells of type 1 diabetes and the insulin resistance characteristic of type 2 diabetes. People with type 1.5 diabetes have autoantibodies to insulin-producing beta cells and gradually lose their insulin-producing capability, requiring insulin within 5–10 years of diagnosis.
Left uncontrolled, the disease progresses into prediabetes and, eventually, type 2 diabetes. This is the most common type of diabetes and is initially treated with lifestyle modification including a healthy diet and exercise. If these measures are not effective, treatment generally starts with an oral hypoglycemic agent.
Diagnosis: A female patient with type 1 diabetes is seen for severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema.
ICD-10-CM diabetes codes complement present medical science—separate type 1 and type 2 diabetes category codes and body system combination codes represent a major improvement over ICD-9-CM. Diabetes mellitus codes are no longer classified as controlled or uncontrolled. Instead ICD-10-CM classifies inadequately controlled, out of control, and poorly controlled diabetes mellitus by type with hyperglycemia.
