Wiki Pre-diabetes and polyneuropathy

[diannalambert]

We are given: "Polyneuropathy is due to prediabetes...."

How would you code in ICD-10?

If Prediabetes is coded to R73.09, it is considered a sign and symptom and not a disease- so would G63 be appropriate?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

I would code it to G63

Based on how the AADE and CMS are going to start treating prediabetes in 2018, it wouldn't shock me to see a move from 'R' to 'E' sometime in the next 18-24 months
