Type 1 diab with diab mclr edema, resolved fol trtmt, r eye

This code describes a patient with Type 1 diabetes mellitus who previously developed diabetic macular edema (DME) in their right eye, but the edema has since resolved due to therapeutic intervention. It signifies a historical condition that is no longer active but was a complication of their diabetes.

Use this code when documentation clearly states that a patient with Type 1 diabetes had DME in the right eye, and subsequent treatment (e.g., anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation) has led to the complete resolution of the macular edema. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits after successful treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "resolved" or "resolution following treatment" for the macular edema.
• Verify the laterality (right eye) is explicitly stated; different codes exist for the left or bilateral eyes.
• This code indicates a resolved condition; do not use it if the DME is still active, even if improving.
