E74.89 — Other specified disorders of carbohydrate metabolism
Is E74.89 billable?
Yes, but E74.89 is an unspecified code. E74.89 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, E74.89 is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting E74.89 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.
