Type 2 diab w prolif diab rtnop w trctn dtch n-mcla, l eye

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus who has developed proliferative diabetic retinopathy, a severe form of diabetic eye disease. Specifically, it indicates the presence of a tractional retinal detachment in the left eye that does not involve the macula, meaning the central vision may still be preserved.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and proliferative diabetic retinopathy with a traction retinal detachment in the left eye, explicitly noting that the macula is not involved. This code is appropriate for patients undergoing treatment or monitoring for this specific ocular complication of diabetes.

• Ensure documentation specifies "proliferative" diabetic retinopathy and "traction" retinal detachment.
• Verify the affected eye (left) and confirm the macula is not involved.
• Always sequence the diabetes code first, as it is the underlying systemic condition causing the retinopathy.
