E83.820 — Generalized arterial calcification of infancy with unspecified genetic causality
Is E83.820 billable?
Yes, but E83.820 is an unspecified code. E83.820 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, E83.820 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 E83.820 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Which MS-DRGs does E83.820 group to?
E83.820 sits in MDC 05 and helps define the logic of 3 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.
- 299Peripheral Vascular Disorders with MCCmedical
- 300Peripheral Vascular Disorders with CCmedical
- 301Peripheral Vascular Disorders without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, E83.820 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
How is E83.820 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to E83.820. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Calcification › arterial › generalized, of infancy
- Calcification › arterial › generalized, of infancy › with › unspecified genetic causality
Code also
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether E83.820 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 4
The conditions below can never be reported together with E83.820 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)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from E70-E88
The conditions below can never be reported together with E83.820 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from E83
The conditions below can never be reported together with E83.820 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from E70-E88
The conditions below are not part of E83.820, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, E83.820 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (Q79.6-)
How long has E83.820 existed?
E83.820 first appears in FY2026.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
