ICD-10 Code E67.8 – Other specified hyperalimentation (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E67.8 – Other specified hyperalimentation
What it is
E67.8 identifies hyperalimentation that is specified in the record but does not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM code. It refers to excessive or abnormal nutritional intake documented by the clinician.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see notes describing overnutrition, excessive intake, or a nutrition-related condition that is not otherwise classified.
When to use this code
Use E67.8 when the provider documents a specific type of hyperalimentation, but no more precise code applies. This may include cases where the chart clearly states abnormal or excessive nutrition without another named diagnosis. Check documentation if the cause or related condition is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for obesity, malnutrition, or feeding problems that have their own diagnosis codes. If the record describes a different nutritional disorder, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Code E67.8 only when the documentation explicitly supports a specified hyperalimentation diagnosis and no more specific code is available.
