About E34.30

E34.30 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for short stature due to endocrine disorder, unspecified. It belongs to category E34 (other endocrine disorders), block E20-E35 (disorders of other endocrine glands) 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 E34.3, choose E34.30 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: constitutional short stature (E34.31), genetic causes of short stature (E34.32) and other short stature due to endocrine disorder (E34.39).

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 643 (Endocrine Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.6139), DRG 644 (Endocrine Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.0044) and DRG 645 (Endocrine Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7459), in MDC 10 (Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases and Disorders), 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 was added in FY2023, effective October 1, 2022.
