About E05

E05 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for thyrotoxicosis [hyperthyroidism]. It belongs to block E00-E07 (disorders of thyroid gland) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: E05.0 (goiter), E05.1 (nodule), E05.2 (goiter), E05.3 (tissue), E05.4 (factitia), E05.8 (thyrotoxicosis) and E05.9 (unspecified).

Don't report E05 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: chronic thyroiditis with transient thyrotoxicosis (E06.2) and neonatal thyrotoxicosis (P72.1).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
