ICD-10 Code E13.62 – Other specified diabetes mellitus with skin complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E13.62 – Other specified diabetes mellitus with skin complications
What it is
E13.62 identifies diabetes mellitus from another specified cause, with skin complications. Use it when the record links the diabetes to a skin problem, and the diabetes type is not one of the standard categories.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Skin findings may include ulcers, infections, poor wound healing, or other diabetes-related dermatologic complications documented by the clinician.
When to use this code
Use E13.62 when the provider documents other specified diabetes mellitus and clearly states a skin complication is present. The note should connect the skin condition to the diabetes. If the diabetes type or complication is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code when the record supports type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. Also avoid it if the skin issue is unrelated to diabetes or if documentation does not confirm a diabetic skin complication.
Coding tip
Verify both the diabetes category and the skin complication in the provider note before assigning E13.62.
