E88.02 ICD-10-CM Code: Plasminogen deficiency

Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.

Coding at a Glance

Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43, Appendix B.

  • MS-DRG 826 — MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS OR POORLY DIFFERENTIATED NEOPLASMS WITH MAJOR O.R. PROCEDURES WITH MCC (MDC 17)
  • MS-DRG 827 — MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS OR POORLY DIFFERENTIATED NEOPLASMS WITH MAJOR O.R. PROCEDURES WITH CC (MDC 17)
  • MS-DRG 828 — MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS OR POORLY DIFFERENTIATED NEOPLASMS WITH MAJOR O.R. PROCEDURES WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 17)
  • MS-DRG 829 — MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS OR POORLY DIFFERENTIATED NEOPLASMS WITH OTHER PROCEDURES WITH CC/MCC (MDC 17)
  • MS-DRG 830 — MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS OR POORLY DIFFERENTIATED NEOPLASMS WITH OTHER PROCEDURES WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 17)
  • MS-DRG 843 — OTHER MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS OR POORLY DIFFERENTIATED NEOPLASTIC DIAGNOSES WITH MCC (MDC 17)
  • MS-DRG 844 — OTHER MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS OR POORLY DIFFERENTIATED NEOPLASTIC DIAGNOSES WITH CC (MDC 17)
  • MS-DRG 845 — OTHER MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS OR POORLY DIFFERENTIATED NEOPLASTIC DIAGNOSES WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 17)

A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.

Coding instructions

Official Tabular Instructional Notes: the inclusion, exclusion and sequencing notes published for E88.02 in the official ICD-10-CM tabular list, quoted as published.

Source: CMS/CDC — ICD-10-CM Tabular ListRelease: FY2026Effective: October 1, 2025

Notes without a marker are published on E88.02 itself; “inherited from” names the category or block whose note applies here.

Inclusion Terms

Alternative terms the tabular list files under this code.

  • Dysplasminogenemia
  • Hypoplasminogenemia
  • Type 1 plasminogen deficiency
  • Type 2 plasminogen deficiency

Excludes1 — Not Coded Here

Conditions generally not reported together with this code (Excludes1) -- an error unless the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

Excludes2 — Not Included Here

Conditions not covered by this code, but which may be reported alongside it when both are present.

Code Also

Additional codes that may be required to fully describe the encounter.

  • Code also, if applicable, ligneous conjunctivitis (H10.51-)

Use Additional Code

Supplementary codes the tabular list directs you to add.

  • Use additional code for associated findings, such as:
  • hydrocephalus (G91.4)
  • otitis media (H67.-)
  • respiratory disorder related to plasminogen deficiency (J99)
  • codes for associated conditions inherited from E88

Coder workflow for E88.02

MedCoder structured workflow — derived from this code’s own official record

Before you code E88.02

  1. Check the Excludes1 note: if the documentation supports a condition named there, do not simply proceed with E88.02. Excludes1 conditions are not reported together with this code unless the record shows they are unrelated (Guidelines I.A.12.a).

    See the official tabular notes

Choose the right path

  1. Does the documentation support a condition named in E88.02’s Excludes1 note?
    Yes → Do not simply proceed: review the excluded code. Both are reported only when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated.
    No → Continue.

    ReviewD47.2, D89.0, C88.00, C96.6, E34.5, E25.0

Consider E88.02. Then work the Use Additional Code note and review the Code Also note, and confirm the code is valid for the date of service in the Verify section.

Documentation check

The provider’s diagnostic statement
Codes are assigned from the provider’s documented diagnosis, not from clinical criteria, test values or a medication list (Guidelines I.A.19).
The conditions the Use Additional Code note names
Reported with this code when documented; a conditional instruction (“if applicable”, “if known”) applies only when the record supports it.

Official instructions as workflow

  • Excludes1 — check before selecting E88.02(9 notes)

    Coding workflow: If the documentation supports a condition named in this note, do not simply proceed with E88.02: the two are not reported together. The one exception is when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated to each other.

    CompareD47.2, D89.0, C88.00, C96.6, E34.5, E25.0

    See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.a

  • Excludes2 — not part of E88.02(2 notes)

    Coding workflow: The conditions named in this note are not included in E88.02. When the record documents both, both may be reported; the note is a boundary, not a prohibition.

    CompareE78, Q79.6

    See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.b

  • Use Additional Code — after identifying E88.02(5 notes)

    Coding workflow: Check whether the documentation supports the additional code(s) the note names, and report them with E88.02 when it does. Where the instruction is conditional (“if applicable”, “if known”), it applies only when the record documents the condition.

    ReviewG91.4, H67, J99

    See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.13

  • Code Also — related condition(1 note)

    Coding workflow: Review the related condition when both are documented and the instruction applies. A Code Also note does not fix sequencing; the order follows the circumstances of the encounter.

    ReviewH10.51

    See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.17

Coding decision scenarios

Pattern scenarios for this code’s structure — decision rules, not clinical cases

Documentation: Both the condition E88.02 describes and a condition named in its Excludes1 note are documented for the same encounter.

Coding question: Can both codes be reported?

Path: Review the Excludes1 note and the excluded code, and look for a provider statement on whether the two conditions are related.

Reason: Excludes1 means the two are not coded together; the exception is when the record shows the conditions are unrelated to each other (Guidelines I.A.12.a).

ReviewD47.2, D89.0, C88.00, C96.6, E34.5, E25.0

Documentation: A condition the Use Additional Code note names is documented.

Coding question: Is a second code reported with E88.02?

Path: Review the Use Additional Code note and the code it names.

Reason: The additional code is reported when the record documents the condition; a conditional instruction applies only when its condition is met (Guidelines I.A.13).

Indexed Clinical Terms (3)

Official source data — entries quoted as published, in the Index’s own lookup phrasing

Clinical term phrases from the official ICD-10-CM Index to Diseases and Injuries that map to this code. These are alphabetic-index entries shown as the Index writes them — lookup phrasing, not necessarily the wording of a final diagnosis.

Decision Points

The directives on this code's own record, as a pre-claim checklist.

  1. 5 Use Additional Code instructions — report the named additional code(s) when the documentation supports them. See the Use Additional Code notes
  2. 1 Code Also note — a second code may apply; the guidelines leave its sequencing to the circumstances of the encounter. See the Code Also notes
  3. 9 Excludes1 entries — codes named there are generally not reported together with this code (Guidelines I.A.12.a). See the Excludes1 notes
  4. 2 Excludes2 entries — those conditions are not part of this code and may be reported additionally when documented. See the Excludes2 notes

Checklist rows are derived from this code's own official directives; the wording of each check is MedCoder editorial. The official notes themselves are in the sections each row links to.

Relationships & Classification

MedCoder structured relationships — computed from published CMS and AHRQ datasets

Other codes that name E88.02 or its code family, from the CMS ICD-10-CM tabular instructional notes. Tabular-note edges are stored at the code family level that carries each note.

Referenced by 2 Excludes1 notes across 2 chapters: P59 — Neonatal jaundice from other and unspecified causes (via E88.-), R77 — Other abnormalities of plasma proteins (via E88.0.-).

These codes’ tabular lists mark this diagnosis as mutually exclusive — not reported together unless the conditions are documented as unrelated.

Referenced by 4 Excludes2 notes across 2 chapters: G11 — Hereditary ataxia (via E88.-), G71 — Primary disorders of muscles (via E88.-), N25.0 — Renal osteodystrophy (via E88.-), N25.81 — Secondary hyperparathyroidism of renal origin (via E88.-).

These codes’ tabular lists name this diagnosis as distinct — both may be reported when both are documented.

Referenced by 5 Code First instructions across 4 chapters: G63 — Polyneuropathy in diseases classified elsewhere (via E88.-), G91.4 — Hydrocephalus in diseases classified elsewhere, H42 — Glaucoma in diseases classified elsewhere (via E88.-), H67 — Otitis media in diseases classified elsewhere, J99 — Respiratory disorders in diseases classified elsewhere.

Each of these codes carries a Code First note naming this condition — when that code is reported, THIS code is sequenced first, ahead of it.

Referenced by 1 Code Also instruction: H10.51 — Ligneous conjunctivitis.

These codes suggest coding this condition alongside when both are present.

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

FY2026 MS-DRG: CC — Complication or Comorbidity. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, this code raises the stay's MS-DRG severity tier — except when the principal diagnosis is one of 136 clinically related codes on its CMS exclusion list.

Named in the grouper logic of 8 MS-DRGs: DRG 826 (MDC 17), DRG 827 (MDC 17), DRG 828 (MDC 17), DRG 829 (MDC 17), DRG 830 (MDC 17), DRG 843 (MDC 17), DRG 844 (MDC 17), DRG 845 (MDC 17).

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual (Appendices B and C). Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
