Diabetes mellitus coding in ICD-10, like many other diseases, requires a higher level of specificity. Most ICD-10 diabetes codes are combination codes that include not only the underlying etiology and type, but also the specific manifestation.

Learn from ICD-10 coding expert Brandi Whitemyer how to choose the right ICD-10 diabetes codes, as you’ll be selecting the correct code from among five code categories instead of the two code categories (249 and 250) you use now. She will also walk you through how to code late effects in ICD-10, how to apply the 7th character to indicate sequela, and how to code dominant vs. non-dominant.
