E09.37Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with diabetic macular edema, resolved following treatment

E09.37 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with diabetic macular edema, resolved following treatment. 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within E09.3 (drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ophthalmic complications), E09.37 is specifically for drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with diabetic macular edema, resolved following treatment. Related codes cover unspecified diabetic retinopathy (E09.31), mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (E09.32), moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (E09.33), severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (E09.34), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (E09.35), diabetic cataract (E09.36) and other diabetic ophthalmic complication (E09.39).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: 1 for right eye, 2 for left eye, 3 for bilateral and 9 for unspecified eye. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

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 was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
