Jonathan was admitted to the Health Camp for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The patient is now doing well and is asked to come for a follow up in 4 weeks. Assign the correct ICD-10 code for this case.
  1. E11.8
  2. E11.9
  3. E11.10
  4. D10.36
Explanation
Answer: B 

E11.9 is the appropriate code for this cause because it specifies Diabetes Mellitus II without complications. The type of diabetes is unknown so the default is type 2 DM. 

Option A is not correct because E11.8 code is used for type II DM when complications are not specified. As the patient is doing well, no complications are assumed. 

Option C is not correct because E11.10 is used to code for Type 2 DM with ketoacidosis without a coma. Ketoacidosis is not mentioned in this patient. 

Option D is not correct because D11.36 is used to code for type I DM with diabetic cataract which is not given in the question.
