ICD-10 Code E13.352 – Other specified diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment involving the macula (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E13.352 – Other specified diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment involving the macula
What it is
This code identifies a diabetes mellitus type other than type 1 or type 2, complicated by proliferative diabetic retinopathy and traction retinal detachment affecting the macula. Use it when the record clearly links these eye findings to the diabetes diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Documentation may note proliferative retinopathy, neovascularization, and traction from fibrovascular tissue pulling the retina. Visual distortion or decreased central vision may be present. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents other specified diabetes mellitus and confirms proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment involving the macula. The eye complication must be attributed to the diabetes, not listed as an unrelated retinal disorder. If the chart does not specify the diabetes type or the macular involvement, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or for diabetic retinopathy without traction retinal detachment involving the macula. Do not assign it when the retinal detachment is documented as non-diabetic or when the record is incomplete.
Coding tip
Verify both the diabetes category and the exact eye complication wording before assigning E13.352.
