Can diabetes TYPE2 with hyperosmolarity without nonketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma be coded in an office setting or is this coded only used for inpatient settings. I was told this code is only for inpatient setting because patient are not treated in office for this condition. But this is what the doctor documented in the office record- How should this be coded.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperosmolar nonketotic hyperglycemia
Hi can anyone help me on how to code this
Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperosmolar nonketotic hyperglycemia
am confused whether to use E11.69 Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other specified complication or E11.65 Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia; I cannot code this to E11.00 Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperosmolarity without nonketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma (NKHHC) because coma is not documented.
Thanks
