Is E83.09 an HCC code?
Yes. E83.09 (Other disorders of copper metabolism) maps to HCC 50, Amyloidosis, Porphyria, and Other Specified Metabolic Disorders under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.648. 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: E83.09 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 50, Amyloidosis, Porphyria, and Other Specified Metabolic Disorders. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

HCC Category Mapping
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 E83.09
For E83.09, 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
E83.09 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other disorders of copper metabolism. Rare inherited or acquired conditions affecting copper metabolism in the body, other than Wilson's disease. E83.09 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (e00-e89), within the section covering metabolic disorders (e70-e88).
Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, E83.09 maps to Amyloidosis, Porphyria, and Other Specified Metabolic Disorders (HCC 50) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.648. 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 the specific type of copper metabolism disorder when possible to support medical necessity. For E83.09, 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 E83.09 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Document the specific type of copper metabolism disorder when possible to support medical necessity
- •Distinguish from Wilson's disease and unspecified copper metabolism disorders
Clinical Significance
Other disorders of copper metabolism captures copper metabolism conditions other than Wilson disease, including Menkes disease (kinky hair syndrome), occipital horn syndrome, and copper-associated conditions not elsewhere classified. Menkes disease, caused by ATP7A mutations, results in copper deficiency in tissues and is a severe X-linked neurodegenerative disorder.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Specific copper metabolism disorder documented (e.g., Menkes disease, occipital horn syndrome)
- ✓Confirmatory testing: serum copper and ceruloplasmin (both LOW in Menkes), genetic testing (ATP7A mutations)
- ✓Clinical manifestations: kinky hair, seizures, failure to thrive, connective tissue abnormalities (Menkes)
- ✓Differentiation from Wilson disease (copper excess) vs. Menkes (copper deficiency in tissues)
- ✓Treatment plan: subcutaneous copper histidine injections (Menkes), supportive care
Commonly Confused Codes
- •E83.01: Wilson's disease: copper EXCESS disorder; Menkes is copper DEFICIENCY in tissues
- •E83.00: Disorder of copper metabolism, unspecified: use only when the specific disorder is unknown
- •E61.0: Copper deficiency: nutritional copper deficiency, not genetic copper metabolism disorder
- •Q84.1: Congenital morphological disturbances of hair, not elsewhere classified: kinky hair in Menkes requires the metabolic code
