Other obesity

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

Billable FY2016 to FY2024, and a category header from FY2025.

Submit one of these 2 more specific codes instead:

E66.81 Obesity class (also a header)
E66.89 Other obesity not elsewhere classified

Use instead:

E66.811 Obesity, class 1 stated for FY2024
E66.812 Obesity, class 2 stated for FY2024
E66.813 Obesity, class 3 stated for FY2024

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Other obesity
FY2025 Stopped being billable
