E86 — Volume depletion
E86 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for volume depletion. 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.
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.
- hypovolemic shock NOS (R57.1)
Use additional code
Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.
- code(s) for any associated disorders of electrolyte and acid-base balance (E87.-)
Other codes that can never be billed with E86
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E86. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E86 alone.
- R68.2Dry mouth, unspecified
Risk adjustment
E86 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 to one of these instead E86
3 child codes. Green means billable.
