E05Thyrotoxicosis [hyperthyroidism]

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

E05 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for thyrotoxicosis [hyperthyroidism]. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • chronic thyroiditis with transient thyrotoxicosis (E06.2)
  • neonatal thyrotoxicosis (P72.1)

Other codes that can never be billed with E05

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E05. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E05 alone.

  • E22Hyperfunction of pituitary gland

Risk adjustment

E05 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.

Code to one of these instead E05

7 child codes. Green means billable.
