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

This code signifies a patient with Type 1 diabetes who previously experienced diabetic macular edema (DME) in their left eye, but the condition has now resolved as a direct result of therapeutic intervention. It indicates a successful treatment outcome for DME in the context of Type 1 diabetes.

Use this code when documentation clearly states that a patient with Type 1 diabetes had DME in the left eye, and subsequent treatment (e.g., anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation) has led to complete resolution of the edema. Supporting documentation would include ophthalmology notes detailing the resolution of macular edema following specific treatments.

• Ensure documentation specifies "resolved following treatment" to differentiate from active or unresolved DME.
• This code is specific to the left eye; verify laterality carefully.
• Always sequence the diabetes code (E10.-) first, followed by the ophthalmic manifestation code.
