Oth diab with diab macular edema, resolved fol trtmt, unsp

This code signifies a patient with a form of diabetes mellitus other than Type 1 or Type 2, who previously experienced diabetic macular edema (DME) that has since resolved due to treatment. The specific eye affected by the resolved DME is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient's medical record clearly indicates a history of DME related to "other specified diabetes mellitus" (e.g., secondary diabetes due to cystic fibrosis or pancreatectomy) and that the macular edema is no longer present following therapeutic intervention. Documentation must confirm the resolution of the DME and the underlying type of diabetes.

• Ensure 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."
• Do not use if the laterality of the resolved DME is known; instead, use a more specific code for the right or left eye.
