Why ICD-10 codes are important
Used for medical claim reporting in all healthcare settings, ICD-10-CM is a standardized classification system of diagnosis codes that represent conditions and diseases, related health problems, abnormal findings, signs and symptoms, injuries, external causes of injuries and diseases, and social circumstances.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E61. 1: Iron deficiency.
R79. 89 - Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry. ICD-10-CM.
Ferritin isn't the same thing as iron in your body. Instead, ferritin is a protein that stores iron, releasing it when your body needs it. Ferritin usually lives in your body's cells, with very little actually circulating in your blood.
V78. 0 - Screening for iron deficiency anemia | ICD-10-CM.
Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z13. 228: Encounter for screening for other metabolic disorders.
The ferritin blood test measures the level of ferritin in the blood. Ferritin is a protein inside your cells that stores iron. It allows your body to use the iron when it needs it. A ferritin test indirectly measures the amount of iron in your blood.
Doctors will order a ferritin test with other iron tests if you have signs of anemia, iron overload, or after a complete blood count (CBC) test indicates low hemoglobin or hematocrit levels.
Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron. A ferritin test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body stores. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body's iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency. As a result, you could be anemic.
ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for preprocedural laboratory examination Z01. 812.
ICD-10 code D50. 9 for Iron deficiency anemia, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism .
ICD-10 code Z13. 220 for Encounter for screening for lipoid disorders is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Following major surgery the patient may have iron deficient erythropoiesis for months or years if adequate iron replacement has not been given. High doses of supplemental iron may cause the serum iron to be elevated. Serum iron may also be altered in acute and chronic inflammatory and neoplastic conditions.
If a normal serum ferritin level is documented, repeat testing would not ordinarily be medically necessary unless there is a change in the patient's condition, and ferritin assessment is needed for the ongoing management of the patient.
It is not ordinarily necessary to measure both iron/TIBC (or transferrin) and ferritin in initial patient testing. If clinically indicated after evaluation of the initial iron studies, it may be appropriate to perform additional iron studies either on the initial specimen or on a subsequently obtained specimen.
