I'm trying to get clarification on when to use DM with complications vs coding a dx with DM E11.9. EX: Patient has DM and provider dx them with UTI. Would you code this as opt (1) N390 & E119 or (2) E1169 with N390 or (3) E1129 & N390. My understanding with DM was that unless the provider says the DM caused the UTI that it would be coded like option 1. OR is DM like HTN with CKD and CHF.
Thank you for any assistance.
