E03
E03 — Other hypothyroidism
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
E03 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other hypothyroidism. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with E03
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E03. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E03 alone.
Risk adjustment
E03 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
