E89.83Postprocedural hypoglycemia following a procedure

E89.83 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for postprocedural hypoglycemia following a procedure. 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within E89.8 (other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders), E89.83 is specifically for postprocedural hypoglycemia following a procedure. Related codes cover postprocedural hemorrhage of an endocrine system organ or structure following a procedure (E89.81), postprocedural hematoma and seroma of an endocrine system organ or structure (E89.82) and other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders (E89.89).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: E89.830 (hypoglycemia) and E89.838 (hypoglycemia).

Use an additional code, if known, for hypoglycemia level (E16.A-).

It was added in FY2027, effective October 1, 2026.
