ICD-10 Code E11.352 – Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy with Traction Retinal Detachment Involving the Macula (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E11.352 – Type 2 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment involving the macula
What it is
This code identifies type 2 diabetes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy complicated by traction retinal detachment that involves the macula. It indicates a serious diabetic eye complication affecting central vision.
Clinical signs
Findings usually include proliferative diabetic retinopathy with neovascular changes and evidence of traction pulling the retina away from the eye wall. Macular involvement means central vision may be affected; clinical features vary, refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents type 2 diabetes and specifically states proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment involving the macula. It is appropriate when the retinal detachment is described as tractional and the macula is involved. Do not infer these details from a generic retinopathy note.
Do not use for
Do not use it for nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment without traction, or traction detachment that does not involve the macula. Check documentation if the eye complication is described differently.
Coding tip
Assign this code only when all components are explicitly documented: type 2 diabetes, proliferative retinopathy, traction retinal detachment, and macular involvement.
