ICD-10 Code E13.628 – Other specified diabetes mellitus with other skin complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E13.628 – Other specified diabetes mellitus with other skin complications
What it is
This code identifies diabetes due to another specified underlying cause, with skin complications that are not classified elsewhere. Use it when the record links the diabetes and the skin condition, but the skin problem does not fit a more specific category.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, the chart describes diabetes plus a skin complication such as a lesion, infection, ulcer, or other documented skin disorder attributed to the diabetes.
When to use this code
Use E13.628 when the provider documents other specified diabetes mellitus and explicitly connects it to a skin complication. It is appropriate when the skin condition is diabetic in nature but does not have a more precise ICD-10 option. Check documentation if the cause or skin diagnosis is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the record supports a different diabetes category, such as type 1 or type 2, or if the skin condition is unrelated to diabetes. Do not assign it when a more specific diabetes-with-skin-complication code is documented.
Coding tip
Confirm both the diabetes type and the specific skin complication in the provider note before coding.
