ICD-10 Code E09.62 – Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with skin complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E09.62 – Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with skin complications
What it is
This code identifies diabetes caused by a drug or chemical, with skin complications documented as part of the condition. Use it when the record links the diabetes to the substance exposure and notes a skin problem.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Skin complications may include ulcers, infections, or other skin changes associated with diabetes, but you should code only what is clearly stated in the chart.
When to use this code
Use E09.62 when the provider documents drug- or chemical-induced diabetes mellitus and also specifies a skin complication. The chart should show both the cause and the complication. If the skin condition is not clearly linked to the diabetes, check documentation before coding this combination.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for diabetes without a documented drug or chemical cause. Do not use it when the skin issue is unrelated to diabetes or when the record does not support a specific skin complication.
Coding tip
Assign the code only when both the induced diabetes and the skin complication are documented together.
