ICD-10 Code E83.8 – Other disorders of mineral metabolism (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E83.8 – Other disorders of mineral metabolism
What it is
E83.8 is used for mineral metabolism disorders that do not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM category. It covers abnormal handling of minerals in the body when documentation is nonspecific.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have findings related to abnormal mineral balance, but the record should identify the specific disorder if known.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a mineral metabolism disorder without naming a more specific condition. It is appropriate for nonspecific diagnoses involving mineral handling or balance. If the chart names a distinct disorder, code that specific condition instead.
Do not use for
Do not use E83.8 when documentation supports a more specific mineral disorder, such as a defined deficiency or excess. Check documentation before selecting this nonspecific code.
Coding tip
Always look for the exact mineral disorder name in the assessment before defaulting to E83.8.
