E30.0 — Delayed puberty
E30.0 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for delayed puberty. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Constitutional delay of puberty
- Delayed sexual development
Other codes that can never be billed with E30.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E30.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E30.0 alone.
- R62Lack of expected normal physiological development in childhood and adults
Risk adjustment
E30.0 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
E30.0 is named in 2 Medicare coverage policies — 2 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
- A57204Billing and Coding: MRI and CT Scans of the Head and Neck
- A58828Billing and Coding: Treatment of Males with Low Testosterone
