Is it E78.00, E78.2. or E78.49 for Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia? (I know E78.4 and E78.5 no longer valid)

Hyperlipidemia
My providers are coding hyperlipidemia E78.49 for CPT code 82550 and BCBS denies it stating inconsistent with procedure. What is everyone else using with this code?
DM & Hyperlipidemia
Question: How is everyone coding DM and Hyperlipidemia. Are you coding them separate as E11.9 & then E78.2 (if it’s mixed) or are you coding them as E11.69 & then the E78.2.
Most providers are just stating pt has DM then they state pt has Hyperlipidemia.
I find conflicting info as to whether you can code as the E11.69 for DM w/ other complication or if you should not.
How is everyone else out there in the coding world handling this?
