ICD-10 Code E13.59 – Other specified diabetes mellitus with other circulatory complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E13.59 – Other specified diabetes mellitus with other circulatory complications
What it is
This code identifies diabetes mellitus from another specified cause, with circulatory complications that are not named elsewhere in the code set. Use it when the record clearly documents both the diabetes type and a related vascular complication.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. The chart should show diabetes plus a circulatory problem involving blood vessels or blood flow, such as a documented vascular complication linked to the diabetes.
When to use this code
Use E13.59 when the provider documents other specified diabetes mellitus and identifies an associated circulatory complication, but no more specific diabetes complication code applies. The record should support the causal link between the diabetes and the vascular condition. If the complication is described differently, check documentation before assigning this code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for diabetes without a circulatory complication or when a more specific diabetes-with-complication code is documented. Do not use it if the chart only says vascular disease without linking it to diabetes.
Coding tip
Look for explicit provider wording that connects the diabetes to the circulatory complication before coding E13.59.
