Diabetes Mellitus and the Use of Insulin and Oral Hypoglycemic Drugs If the documentation in a medical record does not indicate the type of diabetes but does indicate that the patient uses insulin: Assign code E11-, Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Assign code Z79.4, Long term (current) use of insulin, or Z79.84, Long-term (current) use of oral
In ICD-10-CM, chapter 4, "Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E89)," includes a separate subchapter (block), Diabetes mellitus E08-E13, with the categories:
The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).

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.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Diabetes is not always an “insulin” dependent disease. The ICD-10 code Z79. 4 (long-term, current, insulin use) should be clearly documented and coded if applicable.

Background diabetic retinopathy, also known as non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), is the early stage of diabetic retinopathy. This occurs when diabetes damages the small blood vessels and nerves in the retina. The retina acts like the film of the eye.
Diabetes Mellitus Coding Guidelines Sommer Huseman, RN, Risk Adjustment and Coding Specialist Diabetes mellitus is a condition that results when the body is unable to produce enough insulin or properly use the insulin that it does produce.

CODING Q&A Diabetes Coding for ICD-10-CM SUZANNE L. CORCORAN, COE Coding and documentation for diabetes and especially diabetic eye disease have changed substantially with the implementation of ICD-10. Here are some considerations to keep in mind. Q. What are the major differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10 for diabetes? A.
With ICD-10 implementation only a few months away, the American Academy of Ophthalmic Executives has received a number of interesting questions about ICD-10 coding nuances. One of the main concerns is how to code diabetes correctly. Indeed, coding for diabetes has undergone the most significant changes that physicians will see.
Diabetes continues to be a challenge for coders since the new instruction/guideline was released in AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS, First Quarter 2016. This is effective with March 18, 2016 discharges. ICD-10-CM does assume the link between diabetes and multiple common conditions.
On October 1, 2016, changes to ICD-10-CM coding were implemented. While all of the code changes applicable for optometry are important, a few of the major changes are discussed in this article. Diabetic Ocular Complication Codes The first major change in ICD-10-CM codes for 2017 is for diabetic ocular complication coding.
Overseen by AHIMA’s coding experts for the Journal of AHIMA website, the Code Cracker blog takes a look at challenging areas and documentation opportunities for coding and reimbursement. Check in each month for a new discussion.

A cataract is a clouding of the lens in your eye. It affects your vision. Cataracts are very common in older people. By age 80, more than half of all people in the United States either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. Common symptoms are#N#blurry vision#N#colors that seem faded#N#glare#N#not being able to see well at night#N#double vision#N#frequent prescription changes in your eye wear#N#cataracts usually develop slowly. New glasses, brighter lighting, anti-glare sunglasses or magnifying lenses can help at first. Surgery is also an option. It involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. Wearing sunglasses and a hat with a brim to block ultraviolet sunlight may help to delay cataracts. nih: national eye institute 1 blurry vision 2 colors that seem faded 3 glare 4 not being able to see well at night 5 double vision 6 frequent prescription changes in your eye wear

Some cataracts appear in infancy or in childhood, but most develop in older individuals . (diagnostic surgical pathology, 3rd ed.) Partial or complete opacity of the crystalline lens of one or both eyes that decreases visual acuity and eventually results in blindness.
How many different types of cataracts are there? According to ICD-10-CM, there are close to 70 — ranging from age-related to zonular cataracts.
When you submit CPT code 66982, local coverage determinations (LCDs) require more than the traditional cataract diagnosis codes. To indicate why the surgery qualifies as complex, you also must report one of the following codes:
For gestational diabetes (diabetes that occurs during pregnancy) women should be assigned a code under the 024.4 subheading and not any other codes under the 024 category.
The code for long-term use of insulin, Z79.4, should also be used in these cases (unless insulin was just given to the patient as a one-time fix to bring blood sugar under control).
ICD-10 codes refer to the codes from the 10th Revision of the classification system. ICD-10 officially replaced ICD-9 in the US in October of 2015.
The switch to ICD-10 was a response to the need for doctors to record more specific and accurate diagnoses based on the most recent advancements in medicine. For this reason, there are five times more ICD-10 codes than there were ICD-9 codes. The ICD-10 codes consist of three to seven characters that may contain both letters and numbers.
The “unspecified” codes can be used when not enough information is known to give a more specific diagnosis; in that case, “unspecified” is technically more accurate than a more specific but as yet unconfirmed diagnosis. For more guidelines on using ICD-10 codes for diabetes mellitus, you can consult this document.
Here's a conversion table that translates the old ICD-9 codes for diabetes to ICD-10 codes. There weren’t as many codes to describe different conditions in the ICD-9, so you’ll notice that some of them have more than one possible corresponding ICD-10 code. Some are also translated into a combination of two ICD-10 codes (note the use of the word "and").
