- Chronic Condition
E08.11 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis with coma. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 8, 10, 19, 637 through 639. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a major complication or comorbidity (MCC) and places an inpatient stay in the highest severity level of its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 352 closely related codes. The code is a manifestation code that cannot be reported as the principal diagnosis. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Coma; stupor; and brain damage; Diabetes mellitus with complication; and Diabetes mellitus, due to underlying condition, drug or chemical induced, or other specified type.
For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, E08.11 maps to CMS-HCC Category 36 (Diabetes with Severe Acute Complications) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.166 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2027.

Medicare Risk Adjustment (HCC)Billing
E08.11 maps to a payment category in the CMS-HCC model used to risk-adjust Medicare Advantage payments. Weights are the published community factors for payment year 2027.

Coding GuidelinesGuidance
The diabetes mellitus codes are combination codes that include the type of diabetes mellitus, the body system affected, and the complications affecting that body system. As many codes within a particular category as are necessary to describe all of the complications of the disease may be used. They should be sequenced based on the reason for a particular encounter. Assign as many codes from categories E08 - E13 as needed to identify all of the associated conditions that the patient has.

Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to E08.11: its own notes plus those printed at E08 and Chapter 4. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
- All neoplasms, whether functionally active or not, are classified in Chapter 2. Appropriate codes in this chapter (i.e. E05.8, E07.0, E16-E31, E34.-) may be used as additional codes to indicate either functional activity by neoplasms and ectopic endocrine tissue or hyperfunction and hypofunction of endocrine glands associated with neoplasms and other conditions classified elsewhere.

Coma
A coma is a deep state of unconsciousness. An individual in a coma is alive but unable to move or respond to his or her environment. Coma may occur as a complication of an underlying illness, or as a result of injuries, such as brain injury.

Questions About E08.11Overview
Is E08.11 a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis with coma on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does E08.11 group to?
On inpatient claims, diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis with coma maps to MS-DRG 638, 639, 8, 10, 637, 19, with relative weights from 0.6375 to 7.5461 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is E08.11 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists E08.11 as an MCC (major complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it places the inpatient stay in the highest-weighted DRG of its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 352 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Can E08.11 be a principal diagnosis?
No. This is a manifestation code: diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis with coma describes the manifestation of an underlying disease rather than the disease itself, so the underlying condition is sequenced first.
Can E08.11 be reported with a code from E09?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at E08, which applies to E08.11, lists "drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus (E09.-)". 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).
What HCC is E08.11?
E08.11 (diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis with coma) maps to CMS-HCC Category 36 (Diabetes with Severe Acute Complications), commonly written as HCC 36, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2027. It mapped to HCC 17 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. In the Part D prescription drug model it maps to RxHCC 30.
Does E08.11 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, E08.11 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.166 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.166 to 0.280 depending on the payment segment). A more severe related category (HCC 35) supersedes it when both are reported. See the full factor table on the HCC 36 category page.
