E58
E58 — Dietary calcium deficiency
Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM
E58 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for dietary calcium deficiency. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Other codes that can never be billed with E58
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E58. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E58 alone.
Risk adjustment
E58 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.
How E58 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to E58.

- Hypocalcemia›dietary
