Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema (left eye)
ICD-10 E09.3312 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema (left eye).
E09.3312 refers to diabetes mellitus that is induced by drugs or chemicals, characterized by the presence of moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema specifically affecting the left eye. This condition arises when certain medications or substances disrupt normal glucose metabolism, leading to hyperglycemia and subsequent diabetic complications. Nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy is an early stage of diabetic eye disease where the retina shows signs of damage but has not yet progressed to the more severe proliferative stage. Macular edema, a common complication, occurs when fluid accumulates in the macula, leading to vision impairment. Management of this condition typically involves controlling blood glucose levels, monitoring HbA1c levels, and addressing the ocular complications through appropriate interventions. Regular ophthalmologic evaluations are crucial for early detection and treatment of retinopathy to prevent vision loss.
Detailed medication history, HbA1c levels, and management plans.
Patients presenting with new-onset diabetes due to medication, monitoring for complications.
Ensure accurate documentation of drug history and diabetes management strategies.
Detailed retinal examination findings, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Patients with diabetic retinopathy requiring laser treatment or injections.
Document the specific eye affected and the severity of retinopathy.
Used for routine follow-up of diabetic retinopathy.
Document visual acuity, retinal findings, and treatment plan.
Ophthalmologists should ensure detailed documentation of retinal examination.
Common medications that can induce diabetes include corticosteroids, certain antipsychotics, and some antihypertensive drugs. It's essential to document any relevant medication history when coding.
