About ICD-9-CM 249.70
249.70 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for secondary diabetes mellitus with peripheral circulatory disorders, not stated as uncontrolled, or unspecified. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as E08.51 (Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with diabetic peripheral angiopathy without gangrene), E09.51 (Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral angiopathy without gangrene) and E13.59 (Other specified diabetes mellitus with other circulatory complications). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
