E21.2 — Other hyperparathyroidism
E21.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for other hyperparathyroidism. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
- familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (E83.52)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Tertiary hyperparathyroidism
Risk adjustment
E21.2 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
E21.2 is named in 13 Medicare coverage policies — 13 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
