Oth diab with diab macular edema, resolved fol trtmt, l 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 (DME) in their left eye. Importantly, the DME in the left eye has fully resolved as a direct result of therapeutic intervention.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of "other specified diabetes mellitus" and a history of DME in the left eye that has been successfully treated and is no longer active. This code requires explicit mention of the resolution of the macular edema following treatment.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "other specified diabetes mellitus" and not type 1 or type 2.
• Verify that the laterality (left eye) is clearly documented for the resolved DME.
• Confirm that the macular edema is explicitly stated as "resolved following treatment" to differentiate from active or untreated DME.
