Diab with diab macular edema, resolved fol trtmt, left eye

This code signifies a patient with diabetes mellitus caused by an underlying condition, who has experienced diabetic macular edema in the left eye that has successfully resolved following therapeutic intervention. It indicates a past history of this specific ocular complication of diabetes, with current resolution.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states that a patient with secondary diabetes (due to another condition) previously had diabetic macular edema in the left eye, and subsequent treatment has led to its complete resolution. Supporting documentation should include a diagnosis of secondary diabetes, a history of left eye diabetic macular edema, and a physician's note confirming resolution.

• Ensure the diabetes is explicitly documented as "due to underlying condition" and not Type 1, Type 2, or gestational.
• Verify that the macular edema is specifically noted as "resolved following treatment" and pertains to the left eye.
• Do not use this code if the macular edema is still active, or if it was never present.
