By the provider documenting Diabetes "WITH" Hypertension do we code this as E11.59 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other circulatory complications) or does provider need to document the words "with other circulatory complications"? Per coding clinic The ICD-10-CM classification does not presume a relationship between diabetes and hypertension and Although, hypertension is a circulatory complication, the classification makes a linkage between diabetes and "circulatory complications"
