Code Description

ICD-10 E09.354 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with combined traction retinal detachment and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Key Diagnostic Point:

E09.354 refers to diabetes mellitus that is induced by drugs or chemicals, leading to significant complications such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). PDR is characterized by the growth of new blood vessels in the retina, which can lead to serious vision problems. In this specific case, the patient experiences both traction retinal detachment and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, conditions where the retina is pulled away from its normal position and where a tear in the retina allows fluid to accumulate, respectively. These complications are often a result of prolonged hyperglycemia and poor glycemic control, which can be exacerbated by the use of certain medications. Management of this condition requires careful monitoring of HbA1c levels, typically aiming for a target of less than 7% to minimize complications. Insulin therapy may be necessary to achieve optimal glycemic control, particularly in cases where oral hypoglycemics are ineffective due to the drug-induced nature of the diabetes. Regular ophthalmologic evaluations are crucial for early detection and management of retinopathy and retinal detachment.

Code Complexity Analysis

Complexity Rating: High

High Complexity

Complexity Factors

  • Multiple complications involved (PDR, traction, and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment)
  • Drug or chemical-induced nature complicates the diagnosis
  • Requires detailed documentation of the patient's medication history
  • Need for precise differentiation from other types of diabetes

Audit Risk Factors

  • Incomplete documentation of drug or chemical exposure
  • Failure to document the severity of retinopathy
  • Lack of clear linkage between diabetes and retinal complications
  • Inadequate HbA1c monitoring records

Frequently Asked Questions

What medications can induce diabetes mellitus?

Certain medications, including corticosteroids, antipsychotics, and some antihypertensives, can induce diabetes by affecting insulin sensitivity or secretion.

How is proliferative diabetic retinopathy diagnosed?

Diagnosis is typically made through a comprehensive eye examination, including fundus photography and fluorescein angiography, to assess for neovascularization and retinal detachment.
