I'm hoping someone can shed some light for me when coding NIDDM with other co morbidity
E11.9 description reads without complications More defined codes exist for diabetes with vascular impairment,ophthalmic,renal and skin conditions to describe those conditions that may be associated with diabetes .
What I'm wondering is when your coding for a diabetic with HTN ,Hyperlipidemia ,would this be an opportunity to use E11.69 rather than E11.9.
Is there a website or more in depth information available for coding with diabetes
I would love to work with providers to more accurately report diabetic patient health status.
Looking at our overall frequency for reporting we are reporting E11.9 very hi ,I just think that doesn't reflect our overall picture
Appreciate very much any feed back or help/direction
Thanks Cheri
