Is E36.0 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. E36.0 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does E36.0 sit in the tabular list?

Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E89), in the block Intraoperative complications of endocrine system (E36).

What cannot be coded together with E36.0?

E36.0 carries Excludes1 notes, which means the conditions they list can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

E36.0

E36.0 — Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of an endocrine system organ or structure complicating a procedure

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

E36.0 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of an endocrine system organ or structure complicating a procedure. 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.

intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of an endocrine system organ or structure due to accidental puncture or laceration during a procedure (E36.1-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above E36.0

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of E36.0, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on E36 — Intraoperative complications of endocrine system

postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified (E89.-)

Risk adjustment

E36.0 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.

Code history

E36.0 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.

Code to one of these instead E36.0

2 child codes. Green means billable.
