Disorders of fatty-acid oxidation

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

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

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 6 more specific codes instead:

  • E71.310 Long chain/very long chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
  • E71.311 Medium chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
  • E71.312 Short chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
  • E71.313 Glutaric aciduria type II
  • E71.314 Muscle carnitine palmitoyltransferase deficiency
  • E71.318 Other disorders of fatty-acid oxidation

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 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.
