Code Description

ICD-10 E09.353 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment not involving the macula.

Key Diagnostic Point:

E09.353 refers to a specific type of diabetes mellitus that is induced by drugs or chemicals, leading to significant complications such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and traction retinal detachment. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is characterized by the growth of new blood vessels in the retina, which can lead to vision loss. In this case, the traction retinal detachment does not involve the macula, which is crucial for central vision. The condition often arises in patients who have been exposed to certain medications or chemicals that disrupt normal glucose metabolism, leading to hyperglycemia and subsequent diabetic complications. Management of this condition typically involves controlling blood glucose levels, monitoring HbA1c levels, and addressing the ocular complications through appropriate interventions. The complexity of this diagnosis lies in the multifactorial nature of diabetes management and the need for careful documentation of the drug or chemical exposure, as well as the specific retinal complications present.

Code Complexity Analysis

Complexity Rating: High

High Complexity

Complexity Factors

  • Requires detailed documentation of drug or chemical exposure.
  • Involves multiple complications that must be accurately coded.
  • Need for precise differentiation between types of diabetic retinopathy.
  • Management of diabetes may involve various treatment modalities.

Audit Risk Factors

  • Inadequate documentation of drug or chemical exposure.
  • Failure to specify the type of diabetic retinopathy.
  • Lack of clarity on the extent of retinal detachment.
  • Improper linkage between diabetes management and ocular complications.
