The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
Following Anemia ICD 10 codes should be reported:
The ICD-10-CM code D50.0 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like anemia due to blood loss, anemia due to chronic blood loss, iron deficiency anemia due to blood loss, normocytic anemia or normocytic anemia due to chronic blood loss.

D62 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 D62 became effective on October 1, 2021.
SECONDARY DIAGNOSIS (ICD) is the same as attribute CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION CODE. SECONDARY DIAGNOSIS (ICD) is the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code used to identify the secondary PATIENT DIAGNOSIS.
ICD-10-CM classifies acute blood loss anemia to code D62, Acute posthemorrhagic anemia, and chronic blood loss anemia to code D50. 0, Iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss (chronic).
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.
Identifying and Reporting Secondary Diagnoses It is up to the coder to identify the secondary or additional diagnoses. ICD-10 guidelines state that the entire medical record should be thoroughly reviewed to determine the specific reason for the encounter and the conditions treated.
Combination Codes: single code used to identify two diagnoses, or a diagnosis with a secondary process or manifestation, or a diagnosis with an associated complication.
Acute posthemorrhagic anemia is a condition that develops when you lose a large amount of blood quickly. Anemia is a low number of red blood cells or a low amount of hemoglobin in your red blood cells. Hemoglobin is a protein that helps red blood cells carry oxygen throughout your body.
Acute anemia occurs when there is an abrupt drop in RBCs, most often by hemolysis or acute hemorrhage. Chronic anemia, on the other hand, is generally a gradual decline in RBCs, and causes include iron or other nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, drug-induced, and other causes.
ICD-10 | Cerebral infarction, unspecified (I63. 9)
R53. 81: “R” codes are the family of codes related to "Symptoms, signs and other abnormal findings" - a bit of a catch-all category for "conditions not otherwise specified". R53. 81 is defined as chronic debility not specific to another diagnosis.
R53. 83 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10 | Fever, unspecified (R50. 9)
Types of Anemia: We will see few types of anemia which are frequently seen in medical records. Iron deficiency anemia –Iron is needed in blood to make hemoglobin. Iron deficiency anemia occurs when there is very low amount of iron in blood. Mostly this can happen in woman due to heavy menstruation.
Symptoms and diagnosis: All types of anemia has similar symptoms like dizziness, pale skin, light-headedness, fast heart beat, shortness of breath. As a part of confirming the diagnosis doctor may ask your personal and family history and also do a Physical exam and blood test CBC (complete blood count).
Anemia can occur due to many reasons such as blood loss, any other disease, during pregnancy, nutrition deficiency, drug induced and many more. So, there are plenty of Anemia ICD 10 codes and will discuss later on the same.
Blood loss anemia – One can become anemic due to severe blood loss. Once the cause is corrected that person becomes normal. This is termed as acute blood loss anemia. But sometimes, for example, in case of stomach ulcers, occult blood can happen for a long time.
