Anticoagulants and antiplatelets are used for the prevention and treatment of blood clots that occur in blood vessels. Oftentimes, anticoagulants and antiplatelets are referred to as “blood thinners,” but they don’t actually thin the blood at all. These drugs slow down the body’s process of making clots. Their main function is to keep the patient’s ...
Anticoagulants do NOT dissolve blood clots. They only help prevent new clots from occurring, or existing clots from enlarging, but they do not aid in dissolving the old clot. The body will dissolve the clot naturally if it can be dissolved.
Fibrin is a protein substance that is formed from fibrinogen, which is a soluble protein that in synthesized in the liver and found in the blood plasma. This enables the blood to clot. Blood must clot (hemostasis) in order to stop bleeding from injury or diseases that lead to hemorrhage/bleeding.
Platelets are cells within our blood that bind together to help the blood clot. Their main function is to stop us from bleeding to death. When the body is bleeding a signal is sent and the platelets respond by traveling to the area of the bleeding.
Clots that are formed in the vein are mostly made of fibrin. This includes the diagnoses that we see of deep-vein-thrombosis (DVT). However, clots in the arteries typically are formed with mostly platelets. This includes the arterial diagnoses we see such as arterial thrombus, brain thrombus and heart thrombus, to name a few.

The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code Z79.899 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Z79.899 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
