E11.6Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other specified complications

E11.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for type 2 diabetes mellitus with other specified complications. It belongs to category E11 (type 2 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 E11, choose E11.6 (with other specified complications) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: with hyperosmolarity (E11.0), with ketoacidosis (E11.1), with kidney complications (E11.2), with ophthalmic complications (E11.3), with neurological complications (E11.4), with circulatory complications (E11.5), with unspecified complications (E11.8), without complications (E11.9) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: E11.61 (arthropathy), E11.62 (complications), E11.63 (complications), E11.64 (hypoglycemia), E11.65 (hyperglycemia) and E11.69 (complication).

Use an additional code to identify control using: injectable non-insulin antidiabetic drugs (Z79.85), insulin (Z79.4), oral antidiabetic drugs (Z79.84) and oral hypoglycemic drugs (Z79.84).

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