I am working a practice that consistently codes E11.9 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus without complications) with DM codes that include complications. My physicians are trying to convey that the blood sugar itself at the visit is controlled but there are still issues with the conditions associated with the DM. Can we code E11.9 and complication codes associated with TYPE 2 DM at the same time/on the same visit? Please help

Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperosmolar nonketotic hyperglycemia
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

Diabetes Type 2 with Circulatory Complications – PLEASE CHIME IN!!
A co-worker and I going over this issue. I stated that I would code it as "Diabetes Type 2 with other circulatory complications". He stated that he would down code it to "Diabetes Type 2" since the Dr. didn’t specifically note that the CAD was the circulatory complication.
