Wiki Diabetes Combo Coding

[CBC]

I'm trying to familarize myself with ICD-10 codes and started review on endocrinologist notes for proper documentation. My question is when the physician states the patient has type 2 diabetes with recent marked hyperglycemia & I also notice chronic kidney disease and chronic renal insufficiency in the past medical history, is it sufficient to only code the Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia (E11.65)? The discussion is that since the physician is only treating the hyperglycemia - the other combo codes should not be listed.

if he does not state a causative relationship with the CKD and the DM I think that you would fine, it changes though if it is related.

As an answer? Then no that is incorrect given the documentation, the previous answer is correct, there must be a direct association between the diabetes and the conditions for it to be coded as diabetes with complication. However, there is no mention of neuropathy at all so I am unsure what your response is in reference to.
