ICD-10 Code E10.62 – Type 1 diabetes mellitus with skin complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E10.62 – Type 1 diabetes mellitus with skin complications
What it is
E10.62 identifies type 1 diabetes mellitus with skin complications. Use it when the record links the patient’s type 1 diabetes to a skin problem caused or worsened by the diabetes.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see diabetic skin changes, recurrent infections, poor wound healing, or other skin involvement documented as related to type 1 diabetes.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents type 1 diabetes with a specific skin complication and clearly connects the two conditions. The skin issue should not be coded as an unrelated dermatologic diagnosis. If the chart does not specify the complication, check documentation before assigning E10.62.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for type 2 diabetes or for skin conditions that are not documented as diabetic complications. If the skin problem is unrelated to diabetes, code the skin diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Confirm that the provider explicitly links the skin condition to type 1 diabetes before you assign E10.62.
