What ICD-10 Codes are Used for Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia is a condition in which the blood sugar level is too high. It is a common symptom of diabetes mellitus, but it can also be caused by other conditions, such as Cushing's syndrome, pancreatitis, and certain medications.
The following are 10 commonly used hyperglycemia ICD Codes:
R73.0 Abnormal glucose
This code reports an abnormal blood sugar level not specifically classified elsewhere.
R73.01 Impaired fasting glucose
This code reports a blood sugar level higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes mellitus.
R73.02 Impaired glucose tolerance (oral)
This code reports a blood sugar level higher than normal after a glucose tolerance test.
R73.03 Prediabetes
This code reports a condition in which the blood sugar level is higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes mellitus.
R73.9 Hyperglycemia, unspecified
This code is used to report hyperglycemia that is not specifically classified elsewhere.
E08.00 Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with hyperosmolarity without nonketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma (NKHHC)
This code is used to report diabetes mellitus caused by an underlying condition, such as Cushing's syndrome or pancreatitis, and is associated with hyperosmolarity but not with NKHHC.
E08.01 Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with NKHHC
This code is used to report diabetes mellitus that is caused by an underlying condition, such as Cushing's syndrome or pancreatitis, and is associated with NKHHC.
E09.65 Drug or chemical-induced diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia
This code reports diabetes mellitus caused by a drug or chemical, such as steroids or pentamidine, and is associated with hyperglycemia.
E09.69 Drug or chemical-induced diabetes mellitus with other specified complication
This code reports diabetes mellitus caused by a drug or chemical, such as steroids or pentamidine, and is associated with a complication other than hyperglycemia.
