What This Code Means

E30.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for delayed puberty. A condition where puberty begins later than normal, with delayed development of secondary sexual characteristics in adolescents. E30.0 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).

E30.0 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Document the patient's age and specific delayed pubertal features to support the diagnosis.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for E30.0 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Document the patient's age and specific delayed pubertal features to support the diagnosis
