E72.8

Other specified disorders of amino-acid metabolism

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 FY2018, and a category header from FY2019.

Submit one of these 2 more specific codes instead:

  • E72.81 Disorders of gamma aminobutyric acid metabolism
  • E72.89 Other specified disorders of amino-acid metabolism

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.

  1. FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Other specified disorders of amino-acid metabolism
  2. FY2019 Stopped being billable
