  1. ICD-10 Codes for Anemia Website:https://imedclaims.com/icd-10-codes-anemia-d64-9/Email: info@imedclaims.com

  2. What is Anemia? • Low blood count or tired blood count • Lack of healthy red blood cells (hemoglobin) • Carries oxygen from lungs to body • Causes: • Fatigue • Headaches • Weakness • Dizziness • Shortness of breath • Irregular heartbeat

  3. Causes of Anemia • Nutritional deficiencies • Heavy periods or blood loss • Internal bleeding • Intestinal issues • Chronic disorders • Genetic disorders • Infections

  4. Classification of Anemia • Microcytic Anemia • Normocytic Anemia • Macrocytic Anemia

  5. Microcytic Anemia • Caused by iron deficiency • Small red blood cells • Other causes: • Thalassemia • Lead poisoning • Chronic diseases

  6. Normocytic Anemia • Normal-sized but fewer red blood cells • Causes: • Chronic kidney disease • Cancer • Bone marrow issues • Medications

  7. Macrocytic Anemia • Large red blood cells • Causes: • Vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency • Liver disease • Alcoholism • Certain medications

  8. Introduction to ICD-10 Code D64.9 • D64.9: Anemia, unspecified • Billable ICD-10 code • Blood-related diseases and immune disorders category

  9. Brief Explanation of D64.9 • Used when type/cause of anemia isn’t specified • Used when: • Testing not completed • Results are inconclusive

  10. Symptoms of D64.9 Anemia • Weakness • Pale skin • Irregular heartbeat • Fatigue • Shortness of breath • Lightheadedness • Chest pain • Headaches • Cold hands/feet

  11. Key Symptoms Explained • Fatigue and Weakness • Shortness of Breath • Pale or Yellowish Skin • Dizziness and Lightheadedness • Fast or Irregular Heartbeat

  12. Important Note • Symptoms vary based on health, type, and severity • Always consult a healthcare provider

  13. ICD-10 Codes for Different Types of Anemia • Overview of specific types and their codes

  14. Iron Deficiency Anemia (D50) • Lack of mineral iron → less hemoglobin • Causes: • Malnourishment • Blood donation • Digestive conditions (Crohn’s) • Endurance training • Gut surgery • Codes: • D50.0: Blood loss (chronic) • D50.1: Sideropenic dysphasia • D50.8: Other iron deficiency anemias • D50.9: Iron deficiency anemia, unspecified

  15. Vitamin Deficiency Anemia (D51) • Lack of Vitamin B12 and folate • Treated with supplements and diet • Codes: • D51.0: Intrinsic factor deficiency • D51.1: Malabsorption with proteinuria • D51.2: Transcobalamin II deficiency • D51.3: Other dietary B12 deficiency • D51.8: Other B12 deficiency anemias • D51.9: B12 deficiency anemia, unspecified

  16. Folate Deficiency Anemia (D52) • Lack of folic acid • Symptoms: • Fatigue • Pale skin • Tender tongue • Codes: • D52.0: Dietary folate deficiency • D52.1: Drug-induced folate deficiency • D52.8: Other folate deficiency anemias • D52.9: Folate deficiency anemia, unspecified

  17. Other Nutritional Anemias (D53) • Deficiencies: vitamins A, B2, B6, C, D, E, zinc, copper • Codes: • D53.0: Protein deficiency anemia • D53.1: Other megaloblastic anemias • D53.2: Scorbutic anemia • D53.8: Other specified nutritional anemias • D53.9: Nutritional anemia, unspecified

  18. Hemolytic Anemia Overview • Red blood cells destroyed faster than produced • Causes: • Genetic conditions • Infections • Medications • Autoimmune disorders • Symptoms: • Fatigue • Jaundice • Dark urine • Pale skin • Fever • Weakness

  19. Hemolytic Anemia – Enzyme Disorders (D55) • Codes: • D55.0: G6PD deficiency • D55.1: Glutathione metabolism disorder • D55.2: Glycolytic enzyme disorders • D55.3: Nucleotide metabolism disorders • D55.8: Other enzyme disorder anemias • D55.9: Enzyme disorder anemia, unspecified

  20. Hemolytic Anemia – Thalassemia (D56) • Codes: • D56.0: Alpha thalassemia • D56.1: Beta thalassemia • D56.2: Delta-beta thalassemia • D56.3: Thalassemia minor • D56.4: HPFH • D56.5: Hemoglobin E-beta thalassemia • D56.8: Other thalassemias • D56.9: Thalassemia, unspecified

  21. Hemolytic Anemia – Sickle-Cell Disorders (D57) • Codes: • D57.0: Hb-SS disease with crisis • D57.1: Without crisis • D57.2: Sickle-cell/Hb-C disease • D57.3: Sickle-cell trait • D57.4: Sickle-cell thalassemia • D57.8: Other sickle-cell disorders

  22. Hemolytic Anemia – Other Hereditary Anemias (D58) • Codes: • D58.0: Hereditary spherocytosis • (continues with other D58 subtypes...)

  23. Conclusion • ICD-10 codes help classify types of anemia • Proper diagnosis ensures proper treatment • Always consult medical experts for accurate coding
