ICD-10 Code E64.3 – Sequelae of rickets (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E64.3 – Sequelae of rickets
What it is
E64.3 identifies long-term effects left after rickets has resolved. Use it when the current problem is a residual deformity or impairment from prior rickets, not active vitamin D deficiency.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Residual findings may include bowed legs, skeletal deformity, or other lasting bone changes attributed to past rickets.
When to use this code
Use E64.3 when the record clearly states sequelae, aftereffects, or residual deformity from rickets. It fits follow-up visits for persistent orthopedic or skeletal problems linked to a previous episode. Check documentation for the original cause and current residual condition.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active rickets or for unspecified bone pain without a documented rickets history. If the chart does not link the finding to prior rickets, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the residual condition first when documented, and use E64.3 only to show the sequela relationship.
