- Billable — Valid for Submission
- CC — Complication or Comorbidity
- Chronic Condition
E71.53 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other group 2 peroxisomal disorders. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 642. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 36 closely related codes. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Other specified and unspecified nutritional and metabolic disorders.
E71.53 no longer risk-adjusts for Medicare Advantage: it mapped to HCC 23 under the retired CMS-HCC V24 model through payment year 2025 but maps to no category in the live V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 23, ESRD (V21) category 23, ESRD (V24) category 23, and RxHCC Part D (V08) category 43 for payment year 2027.

Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to E71.53: its own notes plus those printed at E71.5, block E70-E88, and Chapter 4. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.
Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
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.
- Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (Q79.6-)
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.

Clinical InformationClinical
Peroxisomal Disorders
a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders marked by absent or dysfunctional peroxisomes. peroxisomal enzymatic abnormalities may be single or multiple. biosynthetic peroxisomal pathways are compromised, including the ability to synthesize ether lipids and to oxidize long-chain fatty acid precursors. diseases in this category include zellweger syndrome; infantile refsum disease; rhizomelic chondrodysplasia (chondrodysplasia punctata, rhizomelic); hyperpipecolic acidemia; neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy; and adrenoleukodystrophy (x-linked). neurologic dysfunction is a prominent feature of most peroxisomal disorders.
Patient EducationClinical
Metabolic Disorders
Metabolism is the process your body uses to get or make energy from the food you eat. Food is made up of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Chemicals in your digestive system break the food parts down into sugars and acids, your body's fuel.

Questions About E71.53Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for other group 2 peroxisomal disorders?
The ICD-10-CM code for other group 2 peroxisomal disorders is E71.53 (sometimes written as E7153). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is E71.53 (Peroxisomal disorders) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other group 2 peroxisomal disorders on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does E71.53 group to?
When other group 2 peroxisomal disorders is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 642 (inborn and Other Disorders of Metabolism), which carries a relative weight of 1.3226. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is E71.53 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists E71.53 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 36 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Can E71.53 be reported with G37.0?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at E71.5, which applies to E71.53, lists "Schilder's disease (G37.0)". 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).
Does E71.53 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Not for Medicare Advantage. E71.53 mapped to HCC 23 in the retired CMS-HCC V24 model, which last determined payment in 2025, but it maps to no category in the live V28 model; see all codes that no longer risk-adjust. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 23 (Other Significant Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders), ESRD (V21) category 23 (Other Significant Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders), ESRD (V24) category 23 (Other Significant Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders), and RxHCC Part D (V08) category 43 (Pituitary, Adrenal Gland, and Other Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders).
