E08.63Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with oral complications

E08.63 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with oral complications. It belongs to category E08 (diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition), block E08-E13 (diabetes mellitus) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases).

Code first the underlying condition, such as: congenital rubella (P35.0), Cushing's syndrome (E24.-), cystic fibrosis (E84.-), malignant neoplasm (C00-C96) and 2 more.
