What This Code Means

E22 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for hyperfunction of pituitary gland. E22 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (e00-e89), within the section covering disorders of other endocrine glands (e20-e35).

Header codes like E22 cannot be reported on claims directly; they organize child codes that share clinical context. Coders should select the billable child code that matches the documented presentation and then verify its current source-backed HCC mapping. Do not infer a child code or risk adjustment value from the header alone.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for E22 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Excludes 1, Do NOT code together

  • Cushing's syndrome (E24.-)
  • Nelson's syndrome (E24.1)
  • overproduction of ACTH not associated with Cushing's disease (E27.0)
  • overproduction of pituitary ACTH (E24.0)
  • overproduction of thyroid-stimulating hormone (E05.8-)
