Patient EducationClinical

Thyroid Diseases

Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. It makes hormones that control the way the body uses energy. These hormones affect nearly every organ in your body and control many of your body's most important functions. For example, they affect your breathing, heart rate, weight, digestion, and moods.

Questions About E04Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other nontoxic goiter?

E04 is the ICD-10-CM category for other nontoxic goiter, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is E04 (Other nontoxic goiter) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other nontoxic goiter, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other nontoxic goiter need a more specific code from this category, such as E04.0, E04.1, and E04.2.

Can E04 be reported with E03.0?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on E04 lists "congenital goiter (NOS) (diffuse) (parenchymatous) (E03.0)". 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).
