Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) ICD-10-CM Codes

What ICD codes are used for DKA?

When addressing DKA, it's essential to be familiar with the specific DKA ICD codes for accurate clinical documentation and billing. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when the body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. Here are some commonly used ICD codes related to this condition:

• E10.10 - Type 1 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis without coma: This code is used for type 1 diabetes with DKA but without a coma.
• E10.11 - Type 1 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis with coma: Same as the previous code, but this time, the patient is in a coma.
• E08.10 - Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis without coma: This code is used if a patient is confirmed to have diabetes due to an underlying condition, and they have ketoacidosis as well. They're not in a coma, too.
• E08.11 - Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis with coma: Same as the previous code but this time, the patient is in a coma.
• E09.10 - Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis without coma: This is meant to be used if the patient is confirmed to have diabetes due to drugs/chemicals. They have ketoacidosis, too, and they're not in a coma.
• E09.11 - Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis with coma: Same as the previous code, but this time, the patient is in a coma.
• E13.10 - Other specified diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis without coma: This is like all the previous aforementioned codes, but for a type of diabetes that don't have specific codes. The patient is not in a coma, too.
• E13.11 - Other specified diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis with coma: Same as the previous code, but this time, the patient is in a coma.

Using the right codes ensures that patients receive the appropriate care and that healthcare providers are reimbursed accurately.
