About E10.6

E10.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for type 1 diabetes mellitus with other specified complications. It belongs to category E10 (type 1 diabetes mellitus), block E08-E13 (diabetes mellitus) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within E10, choose E10.6 (with other specified complications) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: with ketoacidosis (E10.1), with kidney complications (E10.2), with ophthalmic complications (E10.3), with neurological complications (E10.4), with circulatory complications (E10.5), with unspecified complications (E10.8), without complications (E10.9) and presymptomatic (E10.A).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: E10.61 (arthropathy), E10.62 (complications), E10.63 (complications), E10.64 (hypoglycemia), E10.65 (hyperglycemia) and E10.69 (complication).

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