About ICD-9-CM 250.53

250.53 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for diabetes with ophthalmic manifestations, type I [juvenile type], uncontrolled. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.

The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 5 ICD-10-CM codes, such as E10.311 (Type 1 diabetes mellitus with unspecified diabetic retinopathy with macular edema), E10.319 (Type 1 diabetes mellitus with unspecified diabetic retinopathy without macular edema) and E10.36 (Type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic cataract). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
