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.
