Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic autonomic (poly)neuropathy

Type 2 diabetes with damage to the autonomic nerves that control involuntary body functions like heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure. This can cause dizziness, digestive problems, or irregular heartbeat.

Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation must identify autonomic neuropathy as a complication of Type 2 diabetes, specifying which autonomic systems are affected.
Cardiac autonomic testing (heart rate variability, orthostatic blood pressure), gastric emptying studies, urodynamic testing, or sudomotor function tests should be documented as applicable.
Symptoms such as orthostatic hypotension, gastroparesis, or neurogenic bladder should be described.

Cardiac autonomic testing (heart rate variability, orthostatic blood pressure), gastric emptying studies, urodynamic testing, or sudomotor function tests should be documented as applicable.
Symptoms such as orthostatic hypotension, gastroparesis, or neurogenic bladder should be described.

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Autonomic neuropathy is frequently underdiagnosed and undercoded
look for documentation of gastroparesis, orthostatic hypotension, erectile dysfunction, or urinary retention as potential indicators. When multiple manifestations of autonomic neuropathy are present, this single code captures them all. Do not code autonomic neuropathy separately from the diabetes combination code.

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
E11.42 (polyneuropathy) affects sensory and motor nerves rather than autonomic nerves.
E11.40 (unspecified neuropathy) should not be used when autonomic involvement is specifically documented.
K31.84 (gastroparesis) may be used as an additional code alongside this combination code.
I95.1 (orthostatic hypotension) may be coded additionally when present.

Is E11.43 an HCC code?

Yes. E11.43 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic autonomic (poly)neuropathy) maps to HCC 37, Diabetes with Chronic Complications under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.166. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.

Coder answer: E11.43 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 37, Diabetes with Chronic Complications. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

MEAT review for E11.43

For E11.43, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.

  • MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
  • EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
  • AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
  • TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

What This Code Means

E11.43 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic autonomic (poly)neuropathy. Type 2 diabetes with damage to the autonomic nerves that control involuntary body functions like heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure. This can cause dizziness, digestive problems, or irregular heartbeat. E11.43 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (e00-e89), within the section covering diabetes mellitus (e08-e13).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, E11.43 maps to Diabetes with Chronic Complications (HCC 37) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.166. For CY2026 non-PACE Medicare Advantage, CMS uses 100% of the 2024 CMS-HCC model (V28). PACE uses a separate model blend. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.

Document specific autonomic symptoms such as orthostatic hypotension, gastroparesis, or cardiac dysfunction when present. For E11.43, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for E11.43 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Document specific autonomic symptoms such as orthostatic hypotension, gastroparesis, or cardiac dysfunction when present
  • Autonomic neuropathy may coexist with other neuropathy types; code all documented types

Clinical Significance

Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic autonomic neuropathy reflects damage to the nerves controlling involuntary body functions, including cardiovascular regulation, gastrointestinal motility, bladder function, and sudomotor activity. Cardiac autonomic neuropathy is associated with increased mortality risk from silent myocardial ischemia and arrhythmias. Gastroparesis significantly impacts glycemic control by causing unpredictable nutrient absorption.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation must identify autonomic neuropathy as a complication of Type 2 diabetes, specifying which autonomic systems are affected.
  • Cardiac autonomic testing (heart rate variability, orthostatic blood pressure), gastric emptying studies, urodynamic testing, or sudomotor function tests should be documented as applicable.
  • Symptoms such as orthostatic hypotension, gastroparesis, or neurogenic bladder should be described.

Commonly Confused Codes

  • E11.42 (polyneuropathy) affects sensory and motor nerves rather than autonomic nerves.
  • E11.40 (unspecified neuropathy) should not be used when autonomic involvement is specifically documented.
  • K31.84 (gastroparesis) may be used as an additional code alongside this combination code.
  • I95.1 (orthostatic hypotension) may be coded additionally when present.

E11.43 maps to CMS-HCC V28 category 37, Diabetes with Chronic Complications. See the ICD-10 to HCC mapping hub for how the V28 crosswalk works. The mapping identifies a payment HCC category for E11.43. Review its source-labeled HCC coefficient above, check the RAF Calculator with complete member context for CMS-HCC V28 PY2026, and confirm the documentation the chart needs before the code is submitted. HCC Buddy shows no RAF score unless every required source and calculation check passes.
