Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus with Charcôt's joints
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above E11.610
These are not written on E11.610, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing E11.610 with anything listed here is a denial.

Other codes that can never be billed with E11.610
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E11.610. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E11.610 alone.
Risk adjustment
E11.610 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 37 Diabetes with Chronic Complications0.166 RAF
Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
Medicare coverage
E11.610 is named in 50 Medicare coverage policies — 49 listing it as supporting medical necessity, and 1 listing it as NOT covered. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
