Type 2 diab w prolif diab rtnop w trctn dtch macula, r eye

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who has developed severe eye complications, specifically proliferative diabetic retinopathy affecting the right eye. This retinopathy has progressed to cause a tractional retinal detachment that directly involves the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision.

This code is appropriate when documentation clearly indicates type 2 diabetes as the underlying cause of proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the right eye, and an ophthalmologist has diagnosed a tractional retinal detachment that specifically involves the macula. Supporting documentation would include ophthalmology notes detailing fundoscopic findings, OCT scans confirming macular involvement, and a clear link to the patient's type 2 diabetes.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "proliferative" diabetic retinopathy and "tractional" retinal detachment.
• Verify laterality (right eye) and confirm macular involvement is explicitly stated.
• Always sequence the diabetes code first, as it is the underlying systemic condition causing the ocular complication.
