2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E13.37 – Other specified diabetes mellitus with diabetic macular edema, resolved following treatment
What it is
This code identifies diabetes mellitus of another specified type with a history of diabetic macular edema that has resolved after treatment. Use it when the record shows the eye complication is no longer active.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. The chart should show diabetes-related macular edema was present previously and later documented as resolved, improved, or inactive after treatment.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents other specified diabetes mellitus and specifically states diabetic macular edema has resolved following treatment. It may fit follow-up visits after ophthalmic care when the edema is no longer active. Do not infer resolution without clear documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if diabetic macular edema is still active or if the record does not confirm resolution. Check documentation if the diabetes type or eye status is unclear.
Coding tip
Confirm both the diabetes category and the resolved status of macular edema before assigning E13.37.
