Hello!

E11.9 (Type 2 dm without complications) should not be coded with E11.41 (Type 2 DM with diabetic mononeuropathy) correct? It is my understanding you should not code without complication and complications together.

Thanks!
 
Correct. E11.9 is stating without complication and E11.41 is indicating a complication, see below:

Mononeuropathy involves damage to one specific nerve and can affect a limb, the face, or the trunk. It often comes on suddenly and can cause severe pain.​


This would definitely be considered a complication, so the combination would not be appropriate.​
