E66.09 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other obesity due to excess calories. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code E66 is used to code Childhood obesity

Childhood obesity is a condition where excess body fat negatively affects a child's health or well-being. As methods to determine body fat directly are difficult, the diagnosis of obesity is often based on BMI. Due to the rising prevalence of obesity in children and its many adverse health effects it is being recognized as a serious public health concern. The term overweight rather than obese is often used in children as it is less stigmatizing.
