250.52 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of diabetes with ophthalmic manifestations, type ii or unspecified type, uncontrolled. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
250.01 Diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type I [juvenile type], not stated as uncontrolled convert 250.01 to ICD-10-CM 250.02 Diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type II or unspecified type, uncontrolled convert 250.02 to ICD-10-CM
If a patient has Peripheral Neuropathy due to diabetes the codes would be E11.40 Diabetes with Neurological Manifestations. For the CKD due to Diabetes you would code E11.22 Diabetes with Chronic Kidney Disease and N18.9 for the unspecified CKD.
When coding Diabetes with a manifestation you should add the manisfestation. Here are some examples for renal. 250.40 Diabetes with renal manifestations, type II or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled Use additional code, to identify manifestation, as: Some of our physician documents condit Continue reading >>
362.0ICD-9 code 362.0 for Diabetic retinopathy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -DISORDERS OF THE EYE AND ADNEXA (360-379).
Patients with diabetes often develop ophthalmic complications, such as corneal abnormalities, glaucoma, iris neovascularization, cataracts, and neuropathies.

If a patient with diabetic retinopathy is experiencing macular edema, then code 362.07 is assigned along with the appropriate code for the retinopathy. If the severity of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy is not specified, assign code 362.03. Diabetic retinopathy not further specified is classified to code 362.01.
An ocular manifestation of a systemic disease is an eye condi- tion that directly or indirectly results from a disease process origi- nating from another part of the body. There are many diseases known to cause ocular or visual changes as a result of systemic disease.
Diabetic eye disease is a group of eye problems that can affect people with diabetes. These conditions include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. Over time, diabetes can cause damage to your eyes that can lead to poor vision or even blindness.
So yes, use the appropriate combination codes, being E11. 22, I12. 9 and N18. 3.
If you look in the alphabetical index under diabetes/diabetic with neuropathy it is E11. 40 (type 2 DM with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified). You cannot go with E11. 42 because that is specifically with polyneuropathy which is not documented.
6).” Code N18. 9 is not included in this range of codes and provides no further specificity. In this case, only E11. 22 would be needed for DM with CKD of unspecified stage.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus with stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy, bilateral. E11. 3553 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

249.50 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of secondary diabetes mellitus with ophthalmic manifestations, not stated as uncontrolled, or unspecified. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood. You can also have prediabetes. This means that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. Having prediabetes puts you at a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
A metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally high blood sugar levels due to diminished production of insulin or insulin resistance/desensitization. Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or sugar, levels are too high.
It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb.
Most coders can quickly come up with 250.00. And if the physician only documented diabetes mellitus , that’s the correct ICD-9-CM code. If a physician doesn’t document complications or type of diabetes, coders default to code 250.00 (diabetes mellitus without mention of complications), says Jill Young, CPC, CEDC, CIMC, president of Young Medical Consulting, LLC, in East Lansing, MI. However, 250.00 is not necessarily the best code to describe the patient’s actual condition. Consider these two patients. Patient A is a type 2 diabetic with well controlled diabetes. Patient B is a type 2 diabetic with uncontrolled diabetes who also suffers from diabetes-related chronic kidney disease. If the physician documents “diabetes mellitus” for both patients, coders would report the same code, even though the patients have very different conditions. The physician loses reimbursement on Patient B, who is sicker and requires more care, Young says. Coding in ICD-9-CM When it comes to the code assignment for diabetes mellitus in ICD-9-CM (250 code series), coders identify whether the diabetes is type 1or 2 using a fifth digit, says Shannon E. McCall, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, CPC, CPC-I, CEMC, CCDS, director of HIM/coding for HCPro, Inc., in Danvers, Mass, and an AHIMA-approved ICD-10-CM/PCS trainer. If the diabetes is secondary, coders choose from codes in the 249 series. Under series 250, coders will find 10 different subcategories that further define and refine the patient’s actual condition. All of those codes require a fifth digit to indicate whether the diabetes is controlled or uncontrolled, type 1or type 2. The fifth digit subclassifications are: Coders also need to note that codes 250.4, 250.5, 250.6, 250.7, and 250.8 all include instructions to use an additional code to ide Continue reading >>
The body system (s) affected 3. The complications affecting the body system (s) When coding diabetes mellitus, you should use as many codes from categories E08-E13* as necessary to describe all of the complications and associated conditions of the disease.
Now, the codes are based on a system that first identifies the type of diabetes mellitus (D M), the system in the body that is affected and the complication affecting that body system. Physicians will need to be aware of their verbiage when charting or dictating patient conditions.
Diabetes codes have undergone some of the most significant changes, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmic Executives (AAOE). With 29 million Americans now suffering from the disease, it’s critical for physicians across specialties to correctly code the disorder.
The physician must document the relationship between the condition and diabetes unless the coding guidelines specify otherwise. A manifestation may be presumed when documented as diabetes with, with mention of, associated with or in the respective condition (e.g., di Continue reading >>.
1. How you state it in the chart matters. Current documentation of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus does not translate to ICD-10. Therefore, language such as “controlled” or “uncontrolled” and “juvenile-onset” or “adult-onset” has become obsolete.
