Specific Coding Applicable to Polyglandular dysfunction

Non-specific codes like E31 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 polyglandular dysfunction:

  • Use E31.0 for Autoimmune polyglandular failure - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E31.1 for Polyglandular hyperfunction - BILLABLE CODE

  • E31.2 for Multiple endocrine neoplasia [MEN] syndromes - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E31.20 for Multiple endocrine neoplasia [MEN] syndrome, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E31.21 for Multiple endocrine neoplasia [MEN] type I - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E31.22 for Multiple endocrine neoplasia [MEN] type IIA - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E31.23 for Multiple endocrine neoplasia [MEN] type IIB - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E31.8 for Other polyglandular dysfunction - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E31.9 for Polyglandular dysfunction, unspecified - 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 Excludes
A 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.
  • ataxia telangiectasia Louis-Bar G11.3
  • dystrophia myotonica Steinert G71.11
  • pseudohypoparathyroidism E20.1

Patient Education


Endocrine Diseases

Your endocrine system includes eight major glands throughout your body. These glands make hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers. They travel through your bloodstream to tissues or organs. Hormones work slowly and affect body processes from head to toe. These include:

  • Growth and development
  • Metabolism - digestion, elimination, breathing, blood circulation and maintaining body temperature
  • Sexual function
  • Reproduction
  • Mood

If your hormone levels are too high or too low, you may have a hormone disorder. Hormone diseases also occur if your body does not respond to hormones the way it is supposed to. Stress, infection and changes in your blood's fluid and electrolyte balance can also influence hormone levels.

In the United States, the most common endocrine disease is diabetes. There are many others. They are usually treated by controlling how much hormone your body makes. Hormone supplements can help if the problem is too little of a hormone.
