I have asked this question before but have not yet gotten a response. Is there anyone who has information regarding what disease or conditions would be reported with E11.59 Diabetes with circulatory complications; would this be any condition that falls within the circulatory system such as I25.10 CAD, I10 Hypertension or CHF I50.X ? Am I the only one that has this question?
 
I looked this up on ICD10data.com which has lists of synonyms for terms and this is what they had listed:

Approximate Synonyms
•Diabetes type 2 w ischemic ulcer of midfoot and heel
•Diabetes type 2 with ischemic ulcer of ankle
•Diabetes type 2 with ischemic ulcer of foot
•Diabetes type 2 with ischemic ulcer of toe
•Diabetes type 2 with statis ulcer
•DM 2 w diabetic ischemic ankle ulcer
•DM 2 w diabetic ischemic foot ulcer
•DM 2 w diabetic ischemic heel and midfoot ulcer
•DM 2 w diabetic ischemic toe ulcer
•Ischemic ankle ulcer due to type 2 diabetes mellitus
•Ischemic foot ulcer due to type 2 diabetes mellitus
•Ischemic heel AND/OR midfoot ulcer due to type 2 diabetes mellitus
•Stasis ulcer due to DM 2
•Stasis ulcer due to type 2 diabetes mellitus
•Ulcer of toe due to type 2 diabetes mellitus
 
the provider must provide the link to capture a complication that does not indent under the "with" index in the ICD 10 book. If the provider noted Diabetes with hypertension you would index it as a diabetic circulatory complication E1159. If the condition does not fall under "with" you cannot casually link it to DM. For instance diabetes with CKD is linked using "with" diabetes with hypertension is NOT under "with" so the provider must state the hypertension is a complication of the diabetes. See iCD 10 book Section I. Conventions, general coding guidelines and chapter specific guidelines "with"
