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.

Testicular Disorders
Testicles, or testes, make male hormones and sperm. They are two egg-shaped organs inside the scrotum, the loose sac of skin behind the penis. It's easy to injure your testicles because they are not protected by bones or muscles. Men and boys should wear athletic supporters when they play sports.

Questions About E29.1Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for testicular hypofunction?
The ICD-10-CM code for testicular hypofunction is E29.1 (sometimes written as E291). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is E29.1 (Testicular dysfunction) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report testicular hypofunction on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does E29.1 group to?
When testicular hypofunction is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 644, 645, 643, with relative weights from 0.7461 to 1.6138 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can E29.1 be reported with E89.5?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on E29.1 lists "postprocedural testicular hypofunction (E89.5)". 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).
