Coder workflow for E11.329
MedCoder structured workflow — derived from this code’s own official record
Before you code E11.329
- E11.329 is not reportable as written. Select the more specific code beneath it that the documentation supports. Codes are reported to the highest level of specificity the classification provides (Guidelines I.B.2).
ReviewE11.3291, E11.3292, E11.3293, E11.3299
See the relationships section · Guide: How to choose an ICD-10-CM code →
- A 7th character is required in this family. Confirm the documentation supports the character assigned — its meaning in this family is defined in the official instruction. E11.329 is not valid without one. The official 7th-character definitions for this family are quoted in the guide.
- Confirm the documented diabetes type or cause (the E08–E13 categories are separated by it) and every documented complication or manifestation; the code is built from the type first and the complication second. Then work the category’s Use Additional Code notes for medication and control status. Type 2 is the default only when the type is not documented, and insulin or other medication use does not by itself establish the type (Guidelines I.C.4.a.2, I.C.4.a.3).
- Check the Excludes1 note: if the documentation supports a condition named there, do not simply proceed with the code beneath E11.329. Excludes1 conditions are not reported together with this code unless the record shows they are unrelated (Guidelines I.A.12.a).
Choose the right path
- Does the documentation support one of the more specific codes beneath E11.329?
Yes → Select that code and continue the checks below on its own page.
No → E11.329 cannot be reported as written. Where the codes beneath it include an unspecified code, that code applies when the record goes no further; otherwise query for the missing detail. - Does the documentation support a condition named in E11.329’s Excludes1 note?
Yes → Do not simply proceed: review the excluded code. Both are reported only when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated.
No → Continue. - Does the documentation support one of this family’s 7th-character values?
Yes → Assign the matching 7th character; the variant codes are in the 7th Character Guide.
No → The code is invalid without its 7th character — query for the missing element.
Report the code beneath E11.329 that the documentation supports, not E11.329 itself. Then work the Use Additional Code note, and confirm that code is valid for the date of service on its own page.
Documentation check
- The provider’s diagnostic statement
- Codes are assigned from the provider’s documented diagnosis, not from clinical criteria, test values or a medication list (Guidelines I.A.19).
- 7th-character basis
- The documented element this family’s 7th character records (see the official definitions in the 7th Character Guide).
- Severity
- Mild, moderate or severe as the provider states it; severity is not inferred from the clinical picture.
- The associated condition or complication
- Whether the associated condition the title names is documented; the “with” convention presumes some links, and a provider statement that the conditions are unrelated defeats it (Guidelines I.A.15).
- The conditions the Use Additional Code note names
- Reported with this code when documented; a conditional instruction (“if applicable”, “if known”) applies only when the record supports it.
- Diabetes type or cause, each complication, and medication use
- The type is documented, not inferred from medication (Guidelines I.C.4.a.3); each documented complication takes its own combination code.
Official instructions as workflow
Excludes1 — check before selecting E11.329(8 notes)
Coding workflow: If the documentation supports a condition named in this note, do not simply proceed with E11.329: the two are not reported together. The one exception is when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated to each other.
CompareE08, E09, O24.4, P70.2, E13, E10
See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.a
Use Additional Code — after identifying E11.329(5 notes)
Coding workflow: Check whether the documentation supports the additional code(s) the note names, and report them with E11.329 when it does. Where the instruction is conditional (“if applicable”, “if known”), it applies only when the record documents the condition.
See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.13
Coding decision scenarios
Pattern scenarios for this code’s structure — decision rules, not clinical cases
Documentation: Both the condition E11.329 describes and a condition named in its Excludes1 note are documented for the same encounter.
Coding question: Can both codes be reported?
Path: Review the Excludes1 note and the excluded code, and look for a provider statement on whether the two conditions are related.
Reason: Excludes1 means the two are not coded together; the exception is when the record shows the conditions are unrelated to each other (Guidelines I.A.12.a).
Documentation: A condition the Use Additional Code note names is documented.
Coding question: Is a second code reported with the code beneath E11.329?
Path: Review the Use Additional Code note and the code it names.
Reason: The additional code is reported when the record documents the condition; a conditional instruction applies only when its condition is met (Guidelines I.A.13).
Every row is derived from this code’s own record — its title, tabular notes, 7th-character family and same-category siblings — with fixed MedCoder wording; nothing is inferred about a patient. The official notes and guideline text are in the sections each row links to, and they control.
Coding context
Guidelines, coding notes, decision aids, relationships (with MS-DRG and CCSR classification), hierarchy, HCC, coverage and the context map: what a coder reaches for after the core. Each section names whether it is official source data, a MedCoder-derived relationship or MedCoder editorial.

Decision Points
The directives on this code's own record, as a pre-claim checklist.
- A 7th character applies in this family. Confirm the documented encounter matches the character assigned. See the official 7th-character definitions and this code’s variants
- 5 Use Additional Code instructions — report the named additional code(s) when the documentation supports them. See the Use Additional Code notes
- 8 Excludes1 entries — codes named there are generally not reported together with this code (Guidelines I.A.12.a). See the Excludes1 notes
Checklist rows are derived from this code's own official directives; the wording of each check is MedCoder editorial. The official notes themselves are in the sections each row links to.
Verify Before Coding

Common coding questions
MedCoder editorial
Can E11.329 be billed directly?
No. E11.329 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema) is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code. A more specific billable subcode must be selected based on clinical documentation.
Does E11.329 require a 7th character?
Yes. One of the following 7th characters is to be assigned to codes in subcategory E11.32 to designate laterality of the disease:.
