Diabetes with diabetic macular edema, resolved fol trtmt, bi

This code signifies diabetes mellitus that is secondary to another underlying disease or condition, specifically when it has led to diabetic macular edema affecting both eyes. Importantly, the macular edema has successfully resolved following therapeutic intervention.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient has secondary diabetes with a history of bilateral diabetic macular edema that has been effectively treated and is no longer active. This code requires explicit mention of the underlying condition causing the diabetes and the resolution of the macular edema.

• Ensure documentation specifies the underlying condition causing the diabetes (e.g., cystic fibrosis, pancreatectomy).
• Verify that the macular edema is explicitly stated as "resolved following treatment" and affects "bilateral" eyes.
• Do not use this code if the macular edema is still active, or if it affects only one eye, or if the diabetes is type 1 or type 2.
