Type 1 diab with diab mclr edema, resolved fol trtmt, unsp

This code signifies type 1 diabetes complicated by diabetic macular edema (DME) that has successfully resolved after therapeutic intervention. It indicates that the fluid accumulation and swelling in the macula, caused by diabetic retinopathy, are no longer present in an unspecified eye.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states that a patient with type 1 diabetes previously diagnosed with DME has undergone treatment (e.g., anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation) and the macular edema is now resolved. The medical record must clearly indicate the resolution of the edema and specify type 1 diabetes as the underlying cause.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "resolved following treatment" to differentiate from active or unresolved DME.
• Do not use this code if the laterality (right or left eye) is documented; instead, choose the appropriate laterality-specific code.
• Always sequence this code after the primary code for type 1 diabetes mellitus (E10.-).
