E10.35Type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy

E10.35 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. It belongs to category E10 (type 1 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within E10.3 (type 1 diabetes mellitus with ophthalmic complications), E10.35 is specifically for type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Related codes cover unspecified diabetic retinopathy (E10.31), mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (E10.32), moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (E10.33), severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (E10.34), diabetic cataract (E10.36), diabetic macular edema, resolved following treatment (E10.37) and other diabetic ophthalmic complication (E10.39).

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.

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