Every encounter is an opportunity to partner directly with your patients in ways that support their best overall health. The PROs know that their advice may not always be billable, but the feedback they receive can result in a high ROI for their practice. This includes the ability to appropriately code your encounters at higher levels when a final diagnosis is presented. Discover these updated International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) standards to support new opportunities for the counseling you already provide.
ICD-10 E83: Disorders of Mineral Metabolism
Non-Billing, Top-Level
This collection of codes, at this coding-level, are not to be used for reimbursement and serve as an indexing function only. Billable ICD-10 codes can be found beneath these top-level descriptors to support primary and secondary diagnosis. These codes are a start to a deeper diagnosis, and should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
E83.0 COPPER
Copper metabolism disorder and endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic disorders.
E83.1 IRON
Iron metabolism disorder and endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic disorders.
E83.3 PHOSPHORUS
Disorders of phosphorus metabolism and phosphatases
E83.4 MAGNESIUM
Disorders of magnesium metabolism
E83.5 CALCIUM
Disorders of calcium metabolism
E83.8 OTHER MINERALS
Other disorders of mineral metabolism
ICD-10 Sub-Codes For Reimbursement
Billable, Sub-Level
These sub-level codes allow for direct reimbursement, and reinforce the importance of minerals:
E83.2 ZINC METABOLISM
Disorders of Zinc metabolism
E83.40 UNSPECIFIED MAGNESIUM METABOLISM
Disorders of magnesium metabolism, unspecified
E83.42 HYPOMAGNESEMIA
When lab results indicate a low blood concentration of magnesium
E83.49 OTHER MAGNESIUM METABOLISM
Other disorders of magnesium metabolism
ICD-10 E61: Other Nutrient Deficiencies
Individual Nutrient Elements
These sub-level codes allow for direct reimbursement, allowing for deeper documentation per nutrient:
E61.0 COPPER DEFICIENCY
A billable code used to diagnose copper deficiency
E61.1 IRON DEFICIENCY
A billable code used to diagnose iron deficiency
E61.2 MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY
A billable code used to diagnose magnesium deficiency
E61.3 MANGANESE DEFICIENCY
A billable code used to diagnose manganese deficiency
E61.4 CHROMIUM DEFICIENCY
A billable code used to diagnose chromium deficiency
E61.5 MOLYBDENUM DEFICIENCY
A billable code used to diagnose molybdenum deficiency
E61.6 VANADIUM DEFICIENCY
A billable code used to diagnose vanadium deficiency
ICD-10: Multiple Nutrient Elementals
Combined Nutrient Elements
These sub-level codes allow for direct reimbursement and combine the need for multiple nutrients into one:
E61.7 DEFICIENCY OF MULTIPLE NUTRIENT ELEMENTS
A billable code used to diagnose multiple nutrient deficiencies
E61.8 DEFICIENCY OF OTHER SPECIFIED NUTRIENT ELEMENTS
A billable code used to diagnose multiple, specified nutrient deficiencies
E61.9 DEFICIENCY OF NUTRIENT ELEMENT, UNSPECIFIED
A billable code used to diagnose multiple, unspecified nutrient deficiencies
