ICD-10 Code for Lipodystrophy
The ICD-10-CM code for lipodystrophy is E88.10 — Lipodystrophy, unspecified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for lipodystrophy with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
E88.10 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
Which lipodystrophy code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 8 codes under Lipodystrophy. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
