Wiki Graves' Disease

[momo2]

Does anyone know if when a provider selects Graves' Disease E05.00, if they should also code either hyperthyroidism E05.90 or hypothyroidism E03.9 to indicate the state of the Graves'?

I believe that hyperthyroidism is implied when coding E05.00 for Graves' Disease. If you look at E05 at the beginning of this section it states, "Thyrotoxicosis [hyperthyroidism]".
