Drug/chem diab with diab mclr edema, resolved fol trtmt, bi

This code signifies diabetes mellitus that was caused by a drug or chemical, specifically presenting with diabetic macular edema in both eyes. The macular edema has since resolved due to treatment.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates drug or chemical-induced diabetes and bilateral diabetic macular edema that has successfully resolved after therapeutic intervention. This applies to patients whose maculopathy is no longer active but was directly linked to their drug-induced diabetes.

• Ensure documentation specifies "drug or chemical induced" diabetes, not type 1 or type 2.
• Verify that the macular edema is explicitly stated as "resolved following treatment" and affects both eyes.
• Do not use if the macular edema is still active or if only one eye was affected.
