What is the appropriate ICD-10 code for a patient that has DM@ with CAD? Would E11.59 or E11.69 be correct?

Did the provider specifically state that CAD and Diabetes are linked?

The 2 conditions do not have an assumed linkage - if the provider didn't clearly document that the CAD is due to diabetes, you'd just use E11.9 and code the CAD separately.
