Other disorders of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance

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 9 more specific codes instead:

E87.0 Hyperosmolality and hypernatremia
E87.1 Hypo-osmolality and hyponatremia
E87.2 Acidosis (also a header)
E87.3 Alkalosis
E87.4 Mixed disorder of acid-base balance
E87.5 Hyperkalemia
E87.6 Hypokalemia
E87.7 Fluid overload (also a header)
E87.8 Other disorders of electrolyte and fluid balance, not elsewhere classified

What has happened to this code

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.
