ICD-10 Code E07.9 – Disorder of thyroid, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E07.9 – Disorder of thyroid, unspecified
What it is
E07.9 identifies a thyroid disorder when the specific condition is not documented. Use it for nonspecific thyroid problems affecting the gland, but not for a clearly named diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have thyroid-related symptoms, abnormal thyroid exam findings, or an unspecified thyroid condition noted by the clinician.
When to use this code
Use E07.9 when the record states a thyroid disorder but does not specify whether it is goiter, thyroiditis, nodule, or another defined diagnosis. It also fits when the provider documents an unspecified thyroid problem and no more detail is available. Check documentation before assigning a more specific code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the chart identifies a specific thyroid disorder that has its own ICD-10-CM code. Avoid it when the documentation supports a more precise diagnosis or when the condition is not thyroid-related.
Coding tip
Query or review the note for the exact thyroid diagnosis before defaulting to E07.9.
