E89.8Other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders

E89.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders. It belongs to category E89 (postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified), block E89 (postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within E89, choose E89.8 (Other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: postprocedural hypothyroidism (E89.0), postprocedural hypoinsulinemia (E89.1), postprocedural hypoparathyroidism (E89.2), postprocedural hypopituitarism (E89.3), postprocedural ovarian failure (E89.4), postprocedural testicular hypofunction (E89.5) and postprocedural adrenocortical (-medullary) hypofunction (E89.6).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: E89.81 (procedure), E89.82 (structure), E89.83 (procedure) and E89.89 (disorders).

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