Specific Coding Applicable to Disorders of fatty-acid metabolism
Non-specific codes like E71.3 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for disorders of fatty-acid metabolism:
Use E71.30 for Disorder of fatty-acid metabolism, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE
E71.31 for Disorders of fatty-acid oxidation - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use E71.310 for Long chain/very long chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency - BILLABLE CODE
Use E71.311 for Medium chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency - BILLABLE CODE
Use E71.312 for Short chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency - BILLABLE CODE
Use E71.313 for Glutaric aciduria type II - BILLABLE CODE
Use E71.314 for Muscle carnitine palmitoyltransferase deficiency - BILLABLE CODE
Use E71.318 for Other disorders of fatty-acid oxidation - BILLABLE CODE
Use E71.32 for Disorders of ketone metabolism - BILLABLE CODE
Use E71.39 for Other disorders of fatty-acid metabolism - BILLABLE CODE
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
Type 2 Excludes
Type 2 ExcludesA type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
