ICD-10 Code E10.354 – Type 1 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 E10.354 – Type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with combined traction retinal detachment and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
What it is
This code identifies type 1 diabetes complicated by proliferative diabetic retinopathy and both tractional and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the same eye. Use it when the record clearly links these eye findings to diabetes.
Clinical signs
Typical documentation includes proliferative retinopathy with neovascular changes and retinal detachment described as both tractional and rhegmatogenous. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents type 1 diabetes plus proliferative diabetic retinopathy and a combined traction and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The eye laterality should be supported in the record if reported.
Choose this code only when the combined detachment is specifically stated, not when retinopathy is present without detachment. Check documentation if the chart mentions retinal detachment but does not specify the tractional and rhegmatogenous components.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for diabetic retinopathy without proliferative disease or without retinal detachment. Do not use it when the detachment type is different or not documented.
Coding tip
Look for exact ophthalmology wording; the combined detachment must be documented, not inferred.
