D83 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for common variable immunodeficiency, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as D83.0, D83.1, D83.2, and D83.8.

Specific Coding for Common variable immunodeficiencyOverview

Non-specific codes like D83 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use D83.0 for Common variable immunodeficiency with predominant abnormalities of B-cell numbers and function

  • Use D83.1 for Common variable immunodeficiency with predominant immunoregulatory T-cell disorders

  • Use D83.2 for Common variable immunodeficiency with autoantibodies to B- or T-cells

  • Use D83.8 for Other common variable immunodeficiencies

  • Use D83.9 for Common variable immunodeficiency, unspecified

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to D83: its own notes plus those printed at block D80-D89 and Chapter 3. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Includes

Further defines, or gives examples of, the content of the category.

From Block D80-D89 Certain disorders involving the immune mechanism applies to 83 codes
  • defects in the complement system
  • immunodeficiency disorders, except human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease
  • sarcoidosis

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

From Block D80-D89 Certain disorders involving the immune mechanism applies to 83 codes
  • autoimmune disease (systemic) NOS (M35.9)
  • functional disorders of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (D71-)

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

From Block D80-D89 Certain disorders involving the immune mechanism applies to 83 codes
  • human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease (B20)
From Chapter 3 (D50-D89) Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism applies to 324 codes

  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

Questions About D83Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for common variable immunodeficiency?

D83 is the ICD-10-CM category for common variable immunodeficiency, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is D83 (Common variable immunodeficiency) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for common variable immunodeficiency, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for common variable immunodeficiency need a more specific code from this category, such as D83.0, D83.1, and D83.2.

Can D83 be reported with M35.9?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block D80-D89, which applies to D83, lists "autoimmune disease (systemic) NOS (M35.9)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
