Drug/chem diab with diab mclr edma, resolved fol trtmt, unsp

This code signifies a patient with diabetes mellitus that was induced by a drug or chemical agent, and who also experienced diabetic macular edema. The macular edema has since resolved following therapeutic intervention. This code specifies that the affected eye is not documented.

Use this code when documentation clearly states drug or chemical-induced diabetes and a history of diabetic macular edema that has successfully resolved after treatment. This code is appropriate when the medical record does not specify whether the right or left eye was affected, or if both were.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links the diabetes to a drug or chemical cause, not type 1 or type 2.
• Verify that the macular edema is explicitly stated as "resolved following treatment."
• Do not use if the laterality of the affected eye is specified (e.g., right, left, or bilateral).
