ICD-10 Code E23.6 – Other disorders of pituitary gland (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E23.6 – Other disorders of pituitary gland
What it is
E23.6 identifies pituitary gland disorders that do not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM category. Use it when documentation confirms a pituitary abnormality, but the exact disorder is not named.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Pituitary disorders may present with endocrine dysfunction, headache, visual changes, or other signs of pituitary hormone imbalance.
When to use this code
Use E23.6 when the provider documents a nonspecific pituitary disorder, pituitary abnormality, or another pituitary condition without a more exact code. It also fits cases where the record confirms pituitary involvement but does not specify the disorder. Check documentation if another endocrine diagnosis is named.
Do not use for
Do not use this code when a more specific pituitary diagnosis is documented, such as a defined adenoma or hypopituitarism. Do not assign it for suspected pituitary disease without confirmation.
Coding tip
Look for the exact provider wording and code the most specific pituitary diagnosis supported by the record.
