Insulin Resistance ICD-10-CM Codes

Use an Insulin Resistance ICD-10 code when a patient has documented evidence of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, or related clinical features such as hyperglycemia, elevated insulin levels, or associated metabolic conditions. Coding should reflect whether the condition is specified (e.g., Type A syndrome) or unspecified, based on the provider's documentation.

Yes, the ICD-10 diagnosis codes for insulin resistance—including E88.810, E88.811, E88.818, and E88.819—are billable for medical services. These codes support documentation and reimbursement for care related to metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance disorders.

Common treatments for insulin resistance include lifestyle modifications, such as adopting a healthier diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and losing weight. In some cases, medications such as metformin or drugs that target glucose regulation may also be prescribed to enhance insulin sensitivity.
