Type 2 diab with prolif diab rtnop with comb detach, r eye

This code specifies type 2 diabetes complicated by advanced diabetic retinopathy affecting the right eye. Specifically, it indicates the presence of both tractional and rhegmatogenous retinal detachments, which are severe vision-threatening complications arising from the proliferative changes in the retina due to diabetes.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and identifies proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the right eye, accompanied by both tractional and rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. This typically occurs in patients with long-standing or poorly controlled diabetes who have progressed to severe ocular complications.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "type 2 diabetes" and specifies "right eye" for the retinal detachment.
• Verify that both "traction retinal detachment" and "rhegmatogenous retinal detachment" are present and documented as combined.
• Do not use if only one type of retinal detachment is present, or if the laterality is not specified or is for the left eye/bilateral.
