About E88.89

E88.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified metabolic disorders. It belongs to category E88 (other and unspecified metabolic disorders), block E70-E88 (metabolic disorders) 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 E88.8, choose E88.89 (Other specified metabolic disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: metabolic syndrome and other insulin resistance (E88.81) and obesity due to disruption of MC4R pathway (E88.82).

Don't report E88.89 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: adult pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (J84.82).

Use an additional code for: codes for associated conditions.

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 642 (Inborn and Other Disorders of Metabolism, relative weight 1.3219), 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 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 272.8 (other disorders of lipoid metabolism) and 277.89 (other specified disorders of metabolism).
