Type 2 diab with diab mclr edema, resolved fol trtmt, r eye

This code signifies a patient with type 2 diabetes who previously developed diabetic macular edema (DME) in their right eye, but the edema has since resolved due to therapeutic intervention. It indicates a history of DME that is no longer active.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states that a patient with type 2 diabetes had DME in the right eye, and subsequent treatment (e.g., anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation) has successfully resolved the edema. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits confirming resolution.

• Ensure documentation specifies "resolved" or "resolution" of the macular edema, not just improvement.
• Verify the laterality (right eye) is explicitly stated; separate codes exist for the left or bilateral involvement.
• This code requires an underlying diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
