ICD-10-CM code for obesity is E66. There are several additional codes that can be used to further specify the type of obesity or any associated complications.
Here are some ICD-10-CM codes related to obesity:
- E66.0 Obesity due to excess calories
- E66.1 Drug-induced obesity
- E66.2 Morbid (severe) obesity with alveolar hypoventilation
- E66.3 Overweight
- E66.8 Other obesity
- E66.9 Obesity, unspecified
- E66.01 Morbid (severe) obesity due to excess calories
- E66.2X2 Morbid (severe) obesity with hypoxia
- E66.3XX Overweight and obesity, unspecified
- E66.8XX Other specified obesity
It is important to note that codes E66.01 and E66.2X2 require an additional code to indicate the body mass index (BMI) value.
When coding obesity, it is also important to document any associated complications such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease, and code them appropriately using the relevant ICD-10-CM codes.
Additionally, there are codes for screening for obesity, such as Z13.89 Encounter for screening for other disorder and condition, or Z71.3 Dietary counseling and surveillance.
As always, accurate and complete documentation is key to correct coding.
