Diab with diabetic macular edema, resolved fol trtmt, r eye

This code signifies diabetic macular edema (DME) in the right eye, which has resolved after therapeutic intervention, occurring in a patient whose diabetes is secondary to another underlying medical condition. It indicates that the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision, was previously affected by swelling due to diabetic retinopathy but has since returned to a normal state.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states that a patient with secondary diabetes (e.g., due to cystic fibrosis, pancreatectomy) previously had DME in the right eye, and subsequent treatment (e.g., anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation) has successfully resolved the edema. The physician's notes should confirm the resolution of the macular edema and specify the right eye.

• Ensure the documentation clearly distinguishes between primary (Type 1 or Type 2) and secondary diabetes.
• Verify that the laterality (right eye) is explicitly stated and that the macular edema is confirmed as resolved.
• Always sequence the underlying condition causing the diabetes first, followed by this code.
