ICD-10 Code E10.353 – Type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment not involving the macula (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E10.353 – Type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment not involving the macula
What it is
This code identifies type 1 diabetes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and a traction retinal detachment that does not involve the macula. Use it when the record shows both the diabetic eye disease and the detachment location.
Clinical signs
Documentation may note neovascularization, vitreous hemorrhage, or fibrovascular traction from proliferative retinopathy. The key finding is a traction retinal detachment away from the macula; clinical features vary, so refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents type 1 diabetes and proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment not involving the macula. It is appropriate for ophthalmology or diabetes records that clearly link the retinal detachment to diabetic retinopathy. If the macula is involved or the type of detachment is different, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for diabetic retinopathy without traction retinal detachment, or when the detachment involves the macula. Do not assign it if the record does not specify type 1 diabetes.
Coding tip
Verify both the diabetes type and the exact retinal detachment description before coding.
