The ICD-10 code for prediabetes is R73.03. The “R” corresponds to section XVIII, entitled, “Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified.” “R70-79” corresponds to, “abnormal findings on examination of blood, without a diagnosis.” The “73” indicates, “Elevated blood glucose level.”
The transition to ICD-10 is required for everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The change to ICD-10 does not affect CPT coding for outpatient procedures and physician services. The ICD-10 code for prediabetes is R73.09.
790.29In ICD-9, prediabetes falls under 790.29: “Other abnormal blood glucose.” Sharing this diagnosis include hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia due to steroids, prediabetes, and over 20 other symptoms.
The ICD-10 code for prediabetes is R73. 09.

You would assign ICD-10 code Z13. 1, Encounter for screening for diabetes mellitus. This code can be found under “Screening” in the Alphabetical Index of the ICD-10 book.

The incorrect portion of the response came as an aside at the end, where it was stated that “it would be redundant to assign codes for both diabetic nephropathy (E11. 21) and diabetic chronic kidney disease (E11. 22), as diabetic chronic kidney disease is a more specific condition.” It is true you wouldn't code both.
Its corresponding ICD-9 code is 250. Code I10 is the diagnosis code used for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It is a disease in which the body does not control the amount of glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood and the kidneys make large amounts of urine.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus Without complicationsICD-10 code: E11. 9 Type 2 diabetes mellitus Without complications.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications E11. 9 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. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

To indicate that the purpose of the test (s) is diabetes screening for a beneficiary who meets the *definition of prediabetes. The screening diagnosis code V77.1 is required in the header diagnosis section of the claim and the modifier “TS” (follow-up service) is to be reported on the line item.
The HCPCS Code for IBT is G0447 for Face-to-face behavioral counseling for obesity, 15 minutes. Payment to the provider is currently being made on a fee-for-service basis, with Medicare covering up to 22 IBT encounters in a 12-month period: One face-to-face visit every week for the first month.
Important Note: The Center s for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) monitors the use of its preventive and screening benefits. By correctly coding for diabetes screening and other benefits, providers can help CMS more accurately track the use of these important services and identify opportunities for improvement.

Medicare recommends and provides coverage for diabetes screening tests through Part B Preventive Services for beneficiaries at risk for diabetes or those diagnosed with prediabetes. For more about preventive services, see Medicare’s Preventive Services (PDF, 106 KB) chart, which includes information about "Diabetes Screening," "Diabetes Self-Management Training," and "Annual Wellness Visit." The Quick Reference Information: The ABCs of Providing the Annual Wellness Visit (PDF, 3.03 MB) provides additional information about this benefit.
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.
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.
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.
