Type 2 diab with prolif diab rtnop with comb detach, l eye

This code signifies a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by advanced diabetic retinopathy in the left eye. Specifically, it indicates the presence of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which has led to a complex retinal detachment involving both tractional forces and a retinal break (rhegmatogenous component).

Use this code when documentation clearly states type 2 diabetes and a diagnosis of combined tractional and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the left eye, secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy. This typically occurs in patients with long-standing or poorly controlled diabetes.

• Ensure documentation specifies "type 2 diabetes" and "left eye" for laterality.
• Verify that both "traction retinal detachment" and "rhegmatogenous retinal detachment" are explicitly stated as present and combined.
• Do not use if only one type of retinal detachment is documented, or if the laterality is not specified or is for the right eye/bilateral.
