What This Code Means
E61.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for vanadium deficiency. A rare deficiency of vanadium, a trace element with potential roles in bone metabolism and glucose regulation. E61.6 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (e00-e89), within the section covering other nutritional deficiencies (e50-e64).
E61.6 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.
This is an extremely uncommon diagnosis; ensure thorough documentation and clinical justification.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for E61.6 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •This is an extremely uncommon diagnosis; ensure thorough documentation and clinical justification
- •Consider if this may be part of a multiple nutrient deficiency (E61.7) instead
