ICD-10 Code E30.9 – Disorder of puberty, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E30.9 – Disorder of puberty, unspecified
What it is
E30.9 identifies a disorder of puberty when the specific type is not documented. Use it for puberty-related endocrine concerns that do not fit a more specific diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Notes may mention delayed, absent, or otherwise abnormal pubertal development, but the record does not specify a more exact disorder.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a puberty disorder without naming the cause or pattern. It is appropriate when evaluation is incomplete or the chart only says “disorder of puberty” or “pubertal abnormality.”
If later documentation identifies a specific condition, you should code that diagnosis instead. Check documentation carefully for delayed puberty, precocious puberty, or another defined endocrine disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use E30.9 when the record supports a more specific puberty diagnosis. Do not use it for normal pubertal development or unrelated endocrine problems.
Coding tip
If the clinician does not specify the puberty disorder, query for clarification before defaulting to E30.9.
