E36 — Intraoperative complications of endocrine system
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
E36 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for intraoperative complications of endocrine system. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
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.
- postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified (E89.-)
Other codes that can never be billed with E36
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E36. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E36 alone.
- E36.0Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of an endocrine system organ or structure complicating a procedure
Risk adjustment
E36 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 E36
3 child codes. Green means billable.
