Type 2 diab with diab macular edema, resolved fol trtmt, bi

This code describes a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who previously experienced diabetic macular edema (DME) in both eyes, but the edema has since resolved due to therapeutic intervention. It signifies a historical condition that is no longer active but is a direct complication of their diabetes.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states that a patient with type 2 diabetes had bilateral DME that is now resolved following treatment, such as anti-VEGF injections or laser photocoagulation. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the resolved status is confirmed.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "resolved" and "bilateral" for the macular edema.
• Do not use this code if the macular edema is still active, even if improving; instead, use a code indicating active DME.
• This code requires an additional code for the specific treatment administered if it's relevant to the current encounter.
