Oth diabetes mellitus with other specified complication

This code signifies a form of diabetes mellitus that is not type 1, type 2, or gestational, and is associated with a specific complication not otherwise classified. This includes diabetes secondary to other conditions, drug-induced diabetes, or genetic defects of beta-cell function, presenting with a distinct, non-neuropathic, non-renal, non-ophthalmic, and non-circulatory complication.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a secondary or other specified type of diabetes mellitus, and a specific complication is present that does not fall into the more common categories (e.g., diabetic foot ulcer, diabetic gastroparesis, diabetic dermatopathy). Supporting documentation should specify both the type of diabetes and the particular complication.

• Always sequence the underlying condition causing the secondary diabetes first, if applicable.
• Ensure the documentation specifies the type of diabetes as "other specified" and details the specific complication.
• Avoid using this code for complications that have more specific ICD-10-CM codes (e.g., diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy).
