Oth diabetes mellitus with diabetic chronic kidney disease

This code signifies a form of diabetes mellitus, not classified as Type 1 or Type 2, that is complicated by chronic kidney disease. This includes diabetes secondary to other conditions or drug-induced diabetes, where the renal impairment is a direct consequence of the diabetic state.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of "other specified diabetes mellitus" (e.g., secondary diabetes due to pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, or drug-induced) and co-occurring chronic kidney disease. Ensure the physician explicitly links the kidney disease to the diabetes.

• Always sequence the underlying condition causing the "other specified diabetes" first, if applicable, followed by this code.
• Requires documentation of both the specific type of diabetes (other specified) and the presence of chronic kidney disease.
• Do not use for Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes with chronic kidney disease; separate codes exist for those scenarios.
