What This Code Means

E88.811 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for insulin resistance syndrome, type a. Insulin resistance syndrome Type A is a condition where the body's cells don't respond properly to insulin, often associated with obesity and metabolic complications. E88.811 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (e00-e89), within the section covering metabolic disorders (e70-e88).

E88.811 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.

Type A insulin resistance is typically associated with severe insulin resistance and acanthosis nigricans; document associated findings.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for E88.811 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Type A insulin resistance is typically associated with severe insulin resistance and acanthosis nigricans; document associated findings
  • Differentiate between Type A and other insulin resistance types (E88.818) based on clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria
