Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

E09.9 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus without complications. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Risk adjustment

E09.9 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.

Medicare coverage

E09.9 is named in 19 Medicare coverage policies — 19 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
