ICD-10 Code E10.628 – Type 1 diabetes mellitus with other skin complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E10.628 – Type 1 diabetes mellitus with other skin complications
What it is
This code identifies type 1 diabetes mellitus with a skin complication that is not classified elsewhere. Use it when the record links the skin problem to diabetes and no more specific diabetic skin code applies.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see diabetic skin infections, ulcers, or other skin changes 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 does not name a more precise diabetic code. It is appropriate when the skin condition is clearly attributed to diabetes in the chart. Check documentation for the exact complication and any additional codes needed.
Do not use for
Do not use it for skin conditions unrelated to diabetes or for type 2 diabetes. If the record specifies a different diabetic skin complication code, use that more exact code instead.
Coding tip
Link the skin condition to diabetes in the documentation before assigning E10.628.
