If the physician documents moderate-severe malnutrition, coders or CDI specialists should query to determine which of these apply. If the answer is "severe," assign code 261 (nutritional marasmus). If the answer is "moderate," assign code 263.0 (malnutrition of moderate degree). See Coding Clinic, Third Quarter 2012, p. 10.
Coding professionals would use ICD-10-CM code E43 to report severe malnutrition, also known as starvation edema. They would use ICD-10-CM code E42 to report severe protein-calorie malnutrition with signs of both kwashiorkor and marasmus.
Malnutrition ICD-10-CM Code range E40-E46.
Severe Protein Calorie Malnutrition (>2 of the following characteristics) • Obvious significant muscle wasting, loss of subcutaneous fat. • Nutritional intake of < 50% of recommended intake for 2 weeks or more (as assessed by dietitian).
Other specified counselingICD-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 .
Coding Clinic Fourth Quarter 1989 advised the sequencing of code 307.1, Anorexia nervosa, as principal diagnosis for anorexia with severe malnutrition since anorexia implies malnutrition.
Code 261 also includes severe calorie deficiency and severe malnutrition, not otherwise specified.
E44.00.
Protein-energy undernutrition (PEU), previously called protein-energy malnutrition, is an energy deficit due to deficiency of all macronutrients. It commonly includes deficiencies of many micronutrients. PEU can be sudden and total (starvation) or gradual.
Marasmus is severe malnutrition characterized by energy deficiency. Kwashiorkor is a protein deficiency disorder with adequate energy intake, whereas Marasmus is inadequate energy intake including proteins.
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.

An imbalanced nutritional status resulted from insufficient intake of nutrients to meet normal physiological requirement. Disorder of nutrition due to unbalanced or insufficient diet or to defective assimilation or utilization of nutrients. Food provides the energy and nutrients you need to be healthy.
Inadequate nutrition resulting from poor diet, malabsorption, or abnormal nutrient distribution. The lack of sufficient energy or protein to meet the body's metabolic demands, as a result of either an inadequate dietary intake of protein, intake of poor quality dietary protein, increased demands due to disease, or increased nutrient losses. Codes. ...
It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as E46. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
lack of specific nutrients in your diet. Even the lack of one vitamin can lead to malnutrition. symptoms may include fatigue, dizziness and weight loss, or you may have no symptoms. Your doctor will do tests, depending on the cause of your problem.
Chronic disease, or acute disease/injury with severe systemic inflammation, or socio-economic/environmental starvation. Under the new criteria, severity of malnutrition is based on phenotypic criteria only, and requires one phenotypic criterion that meets these thresholds: Moderate (stage 1) malnutrition. Severe (stage 2) malnutrition.
Malnutrition stage is not an indexed term, so if Stage 1 is documented, code E46 (unspecified malnutrition) may be used. If only Stage 2 is documented, it must be clarified as severe for correct coding of the condition. At this time, the ASPEN criteria are still being followed in the U.S.
