Oth diab with diab macular edema, resolved fol trtmt, r eye

This code signifies a patient with a form of diabetes mellitus, other than type 1 or type 2, who has experienced diabetic macular edema in their right eye. Importantly, the macular edema has resolved as a direct result of medical treatment.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of "other specified diabetes mellitus" and a history of diabetic macular edema in the right eye that has fully resolved after therapeutic intervention. Supporting documentation should include ophthalmological reports confirming the resolution.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "other specified diabetes mellitus" and not Type 1 or Type 2.
• Verify that the macular edema is explicitly stated as "resolved following treatment" and not merely stable or improving.
• Confirm the laterality is specifically the "right eye."
