ICD-10 Code E09.354 – Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with combined traction retinal detachment and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E09.354 – Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with combined traction retinal detachment and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
What it is
This code identifies diabetes caused by a drug or chemical, complicated by proliferative diabetic retinopathy and both traction and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the same eye. Use it when documentation links the diabetes and the advanced retinal findings.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical records may note proliferative retinopathy, vitreoretinal traction, and a retinal detachment with both tractional and rhegmatogenous components.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents drug- or chemical-induced diabetes mellitus with the specified eye complication. The record should clearly state proliferative diabetic retinopathy and combined traction retinal detachment with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. If the eye laterality is documented, code it as directed by the tabular list.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for diabetes from another cause, such as type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Do not assign it if the retinal detachment type or the drug-induced cause is not documented; check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify that the diabetes cause and the exact retinal complication are both stated before assigning E09.354.
