ICD-10 Code E11.628 – Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other skin complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E11.628 – Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other skin complications
What it is
This code identifies type 2 diabetes with a skin problem linked to the diabetes, but not one of the more specific listed skin complications. Use it when the record supports a diabetic skin condition and no better code fits.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see diabetic skin changes such as ulcers, infections, itching, or other cutaneous findings described by the clinician as related to diabetes.
When to use this code
Use E11.628 when the provider documents type 2 diabetes and a skin complication that is attributed to diabetes, and the chart does not support a more specific diabetes-with-skin-complication code. It can apply to outpatient, inpatient, or problem-list documentation when the relationship is clearly stated. Check documentation if the skin finding is nonspecific.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for type 1 diabetes, gestational diabetes, or skin conditions not documented as diabetic in origin. If the record names a more specific diabetic skin complication, code that instead.
Coding tip
Look for explicit provider linkage between the skin condition and diabetes before assigning E11.628.
