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

This code signifies a patient with type 2 diabetes who has experienced diabetic macular edema in their left eye, and this edema has since resolved due to medical intervention. It indicates a history of this specific diabetic complication that is no longer active.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states that a patient with type 2 diabetes previously had diabetic macular edema in the left eye, and subsequent treatment has led to its resolution. This is typically supported by ophthalmological reports detailing the initial diagnosis, treatment (e.g., anti-VEGF injections, laser), and follow-up examinations confirming the absence of active macular edema.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "resolved" and not merely "improved" or "stable."
• Verify laterality (left eye) is clearly documented; do not assume.
• Always sequence the diabetes code (E11.-) first, followed by any associated complications.
