E09.3Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ophthalmic complications

E09.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ophthalmic complications. It belongs to category E09 (drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus), block E08-E13 (diabetes mellitus) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 8 subcodes must be used instead.

Within E09 (drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus), E09.3 is specifically for drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ophthalmic complications. Related codes cover with hyperosmolarity (E09.0), with ketoacidosis (E09.1), with kidney complications (E09.2), with neurological complications (E09.4), with circulatory complications (E09.5), with other specified complications (E09.6), with unspecified complications (E09.8) and without complications (E09.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: E09.31 (retinopathy), E09.32 (retinopathy), E09.33 (retinopathy), E09.34 (retinopathy), E09.35 (retinopathy), E09.36 (cataract), E09.37 (treatment) and E09.39 (complication).

Code first: poisoning due to drug or toxin, if applicable (T36-T65 with fifth or sixth character 1-4).

Use an additional code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5). Use an additional code to identify control using: injectable non-insulin antidiabetic drugs (Z79.85), insulin (Z79.4), oral antidiabetic drugs (Z79.84) and oral hypoglycemic drugs (Z79.84).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
