ICD-10 Code E11.62 – Type 2 diabetes mellitus with skin complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E11.62 – Type 2 diabetes mellitus with skin complications
What it is
E11.62 identifies type 2 diabetes mellitus with skin complications. Use it when diabetes is documented with a skin disorder that is attributed to the diabetes.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical skin findings may include diabetic dermopathy, infections, ulcers, or other diabetes-related skin changes recorded by the clinician.
When to use this code
Use E11.62 when the provider links a skin complication directly to type 2 diabetes. It fits notes that clearly describe a diabetic skin condition, such as a diabetes-related ulcer or skin infection. If the chart does not state the relationship, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for type 1 diabetes or for skin problems without a documented diabetic cause. If the skin condition is unrelated to diabetes, code the specific skin diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Look for explicit provider wording that connects the skin condition to diabetes before assigning E11.62.
