ICD-10 Code E83.824 – ABCC6 deficiency causing pseudoxanthoma elasticum (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E83.824 – ABCC6 deficiency causing pseudoxanthoma elasticum
What it is
E83.824 identifies pseudoxanthoma elasticum caused by ABCC6 deficiency. Use it when documentation links the inherited disorder to ABCC6-related disease rather than a nonspecific skin or eye finding.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings include yellowish papules, lax or redundant skin, and characteristic eye or vascular involvement associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents ABCC6 deficiency as the cause of pseudoxanthoma elasticum. It may appear in genetic, dermatologic, ophthalmologic, or cardiology records when the diagnosis is confirmed or clearly stated.
Assign it for encounters focused on the disorder itself, including evaluation of documented manifestations tied to this inherited condition. If the record only says “pseudoxanthoma elasticum” without the ABCC6 deficiency link, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific skin lesions, eye findings, or vascular symptoms without documented pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Do not assume ABCC6 deficiency unless the record states it.
Coding tip
Code the ABCC6-specific diagnosis only when the linkage is explicit in the record; otherwise, query the provider.
