This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R71 - other international versions of ICD-10 R71 may differ. refractory anemia ( D46.-) P55.-)
In this topic will discuss about Anemia, types of Anemia and Anemia ICD 10 coding guidelines along with examples. In simple words, anemia is lack of Red Blood Cells (RBC).
abnormalities of lipids ( E78.-) abnormalities of platelets and thrombocytes ( D69.-) 2016 (effective 10/1/2015): New code (first year of non-draft ICD-10-CM) Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
ICD-10 code R71. 8 for Other abnormality of red blood cells is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry89 Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R97 R97.
Polycythaemia, also known as erythrocytosis, means having a high concentration of red blood cells in your blood.
Abnormal finding of blood chemistry, unspecified The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R79. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
R79. 89 converts approximately to one of the following ICD-9-CM codes: 790.6 - Other abnormal blood chemistry.
Code D64. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Anemia, Unspecified, it falls under the category of diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism. Anemia specifically, is a condition in which the number of red blood cells is below normal.
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 .
D58. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D58.

What is the difference between high hemoglobin and hematocrit? Hematocrit is the volume of red blood cells compared to other blood cells. People with high hemoglobin often also have high hematocrit, meaning they have irregularly high red blood cell counts.
What Does Hematocrit Mean? Hematocrit is the percentage by volume of red cells in your blood. Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, suspended in plasma.
CPT code 83036 (Hemoglobin; glycosylated (A1c)) is typically used to report HbA1c independent of the method used when a single quantitative result is obtained.
MCV stands for mean corpuscular volume. An MCV blood test measures the average size of your red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body.
Hemoglobin (Hb or Hgb) is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A low hemoglobin count is generally defined as less than 13.2 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter (132 grams per liter) of blood for men and less than 11.6 grams per deciliter (116 grams per liter) for women.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R71.8 became effective on October 1, 2021.
abnormalities of platelets and thrombocytes ( D69.-) newborn anemia due to isoimmunization ( P55.-) An increase in the number of abnormally shaped red blood cells. The presence of erythrocytes with excessive variation in size in the blood.
Note : Here neoplasm should be coded primary as per the code first note with D63.0
P61.3 – Congenital anemia in new born babies as a result of intra uterine blood loss during delivery.
They are not healthy enough to carry oxygen to our body organs. Vitamin deficiency anemia – As the name says deficiency of vitamins like folate, B12, C leads to deficiency of healthy RBCs and anemia.
D63.8 – Anemia in other chronic diseases
O90.81 – Postpartum Anemia, this is applicable only in case of anemia not pre-existing prior to delivery
There are plenty of ICD 10 codes for anemia depending on the cause. As it is not possible to mention all the codes here, just given a screenshot below on how to search the code through ICD-10 CM manual index.
Note : ESRD is coded primary as that is the underlying cause for anemia. Also, as per“code first” note with ICD D63.1
These levels are similar to those expected from methyl mercury. The dose was the same for all infants, 12.5 µg Hg. Five percent, or 0.625 µg Hg, should be deposited in the blood compartment, which is assumed to be 8% of the infant's body weight. Thus, for the preterm infants, 0.625 µg Hg would be deposited in a blood volume of 0.08 748 = 60 mL to give a predicted concentration of 0.625 1,000/60 = 10.4 µg Hg/L. This compares to an observed increase of 6.8 µg Hg/L. The predicted increase for the term infants based on methyl mercury is 0.625 1,000/287 = 2.2. The observed increase was identical, 2.2 µg Hg/L.
health official said it was not a health threat. The recall is for 1.2 million doses of the vaccine for Hib, which protects against meningitis, pneumonia and other serious infections, and a combination vaccine for Hib and hepatitis B. The vaccine is recommended for all children under 5 and is usually given in a three-shot series, starting at 2 months old.
The vaccine contains no detectable yeast DNA but may contain not more than 1% yeast protein. The vaccine produced by the Merck method has been shown to be comparable to the plasma-derived vaccine in terms of animal potency (mouse, monkey, and chimpanzee) and protective efficacy (chimpanzee and human).
