E89 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as E89.0, E89.1, E89.2, and E89.3.

Non-specific codes like E89 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use E89.0 for Postprocedural hypothyroidism

  • Use E89.1 for Postprocedural hypoinsulinemia

  • Use E89.2 for Postprocedural hypoparathyroidism

  • Use E89.3 for Postprocedural hypopituitarism

  • E89.4 for Postprocedural ovarian failure

  • Use E89.40 for Asymptomatic postprocedural ovarian failure

  • Use E89.41 for Symptomatic postprocedural ovarian failure

  • Use E89.5 for Postprocedural testicular hypofunction

  • Use E89.6 for Postprocedural adrenocortical (-medullary) hypofunction

  • E89.8 for Other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders

  • E89.81 for Postprocedural hemorrhage of an endocrine system organ or structure following a procedure

  • E89.82 for Postprocedural hematoma and seroma of an endocrine system organ or structure

  • E89.83 for Postprocedural hypoglycemia following a procedure

  • Use E89.89 for Other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to E89: its own notes plus those printed at 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.

From Chapter 4 (E00-E89) Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases applies to 973 codes
  • transitory endocrine and metabolic disorders specific to newborn (P70-P74)

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.

  • intraoperative complications of endocrine system organ or structure (E36.0-, E36.1-, E36.8)

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 4 (E00-E89) Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases applies to 973 codes
  • 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.

Patient EducationClinical

Endocrine Diseases

Your endocrine system includes eight major glands throughout your body. These glands make hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers. They travel through your bloodstream to tissues or organs. Hormones work slowly and affect body processes from head to toe. These include:

Questions About E89Overview

Is E89 a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified need a more specific code from this category, such as E89.0, E89.1, and E89.2.
