Drug/chem diab w prolif diab rtnop w trctn dtch macula,l eye

This code signifies diabetes mellitus caused by medication or chemical exposure, specifically presenting with advanced diabetic retinopathy. The retinopathy involves abnormal new blood vessel growth (proliferative) and a tractional detachment of the retina affecting the macula in the patient's left eye. This indicates severe, vision-threatening ocular complications.

Use this code when documentation clearly states drug or chemical-induced diabetes mellitus and identifies proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment involving the macula of the left eye. This code is appropriate for patients undergoing treatment for these specific diabetic complications. Supporting documentation would include ophthalmology reports, physician notes detailing the etiology of diabetes, and imaging studies confirming the retinal detachment.

• Always ensure the documentation specifies "drug or chemical induced" diabetes, not type 1 or type 2.
• Verify the laterality (left eye) and the specific type of retinopathy (proliferative with traction retinal detachment involving the macula).
• Code any associated drug or chemical responsible for the diabetes as an adverse effect or poisoning, depending on the circumstances.
