ICD-10 Code E09.628 – Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with other skin complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E09.628 – Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with other skin complications
What it is
This code identifies diabetes caused by a drug or chemical, with a documented skin complication. It applies when the diabetes and the skin problem are both linked to the same exposure.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see diabetes first recognized after drug or chemical exposure, along with a specified skin complication such as a rash, ulcer, infection, or other skin disorder.
When to use this code
Use E09.628 when the provider documents drug- or chemical-induced diabetes mellitus and also names a skin complication. The record should clearly connect the diabetes to the agent and the skin issue to the diabetes. Check documentation if the cause or complication is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. It is also not appropriate when the skin condition is unrelated to the diabetes or when only the drug exposure is documented.
Coding tip
Code the underlying drug or chemical exposure and the specific skin complication separately when required by documentation.
