About E10.44

E10.44 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic amyotrophy. It belongs to category E10 (type 1 diabetes mellitus), block E08-E13 (diabetes mellitus) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within E10.4 (type 1 diabetes mellitus with neurological complications), E10.44 is specifically for type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic amyotrophy. Related codes cover diabetic neuropathy, unspecified (E10.40), diabetic mononeuropathy (E10.41), diabetic polyneuropathy (E10.42), diabetic autonomic (poly)neuropathy (E10.43) and other diabetic neurological complication (E10.49).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 008 (Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant, relative weight 5.5146), DRG 010 (Pancreas or Islet Cell Transplant, relative weight 7.5259), DRG 019 (Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant with Hemodialysis, relative weight 7.5493), DRG 073 (Cranial and Peripheral Nerve Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5779) and DRG 074 (Cranial and Peripheral Nerve Disorders without MCC, relative weight 1.0173), in Pre-MDC and MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 250.61 (diabetes with neurological manifestations, type I [juvenile type], not stated as uncontrolled) and 353.5 (Neuralgic amyotrophy).
