Is E36 billable?
No — E36 is a non-billable header code. E36 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 5 billable codes beneath E36.

Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of E36, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, E36 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified (E89.-)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 4
The conditions below can never be reported together with E36 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- transitory endocrine and metabolic disorders specific to newborn (P70-P74)
