Disorders of puberty, not elsewhere classified (E30)
The ICD-10 code section E30 covers disorders of puberty that don’t fit into other classifications, including delayed puberty (E30.0), precocious puberty (E30.1), and other less common puberty disorders (E30.8), as well as unspecified cases (E30.9).
This section is used when coding conditions related to abnormal timing or development of puberty. For example, E30.0 applies to cases like delayed sexual development or late onset of secondary sexual characteristics, often called delayed adrenarche or constitutional delay of growth and puberty. On the opposite end, E30.1 is the code for precocious puberty, where early sexual development occurs, sometimes linked to adrenal or endocrine abnormalities. Other specific puberty disorders, such as premature breast development (thelarche) or abnormal estrogen responses, are classified under E30.8. When the type of puberty disorder is unclear or nonspecific, E30.9 is the appropriate choice. Understanding these distinctions helps healthcare professionals accurately assign the correct ICD-10 code for disorders of puberty based on clinical presentation and diagnosis.
Clinical Terms
The following clinical terms provide additional context, helping users better understand the clinical background and common associations for each diagnosis listed in this section. Including related terms alongside ICD-10-CM codes supports coders, billers, and healthcare professionals in improving accuracy, enhancing documentation, and facilitating research or patient education.
Adrenocortical Hyperfunction
Excess production of ADRENAL CORTEX HORMONES such as ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and/or ANDROSTENEDIONE. Hyperadrenal syndromes include CUSHING SYNDROME; HYPERALDOSTERONISM; and VIRILISM.
Choanal Atresia
A congenital abnormality that is characterized by a blocked CHOANAE, the opening between the nose and the NASOPHARYNX. Blockage can be unilateral or bilateral; bony or membranous.
Menarche
