Oth diab with diabetic macular edema, resolved fol trtmt, bi

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with a form of diabetes mellitus, other than type 1 or type 2, who has experienced diabetic macular edema in both eyes. Importantly, the macular edema has resolved following therapeutic intervention.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of "other specified diabetes mellitus" (e.g., secondary diabetes due to cystic fibrosis or pancreatectomy) with a history of bilateral diabetic macular edema that is now resolved after treatment. The physician's notes should explicitly state the resolution of the edema.

• Ensure the diabetes type is "other specified" and not type 1 or type 2.
• Verify that the macular edema was bilateral and has fully resolved post-treatment.
• This code requires an additional code to identify the specific type of "other specified diabetes mellitus."
