If a patient has been diagnosed with Diabetes with Retinopathy but the patient is only being seen by the provider for treatment of the Diabetes and the retinopathy is not address, would you code with just a diabetes code?
 
If the documentation indicates diabetic retinopathy the you code for diabetic retinopathy, even if the retinopathy is not treated.
