Non-specific codes like D60 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use D60.0 for Chronic acquired pure red cell aplasia

  • Use D60.1 for Transient acquired pure red cell aplasia

  • Use D60.8 for Other acquired pure red cell aplasias

  • Use D60.9 for Acquired pure red cell aplasia, unspecified

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to D60: its own notes plus those printed at Chapter 3. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Includes

Further defines, or gives examples of, the content of the category.

  • red cell aplasia (acquired) (adult) (with thymoma)

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

  • congenital red cell aplasia (D61.01)

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

From Chapter 3 (D50-D89) Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism applies to 324 codes
  • autoimmune disease (systemic) NOS (M35.9)
  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)

Patient EducationClinical

Anemia

If you have anemia, your blood does not carry enough oxygen to the rest of your body. The most common cause of anemia is not having enough iron. Your body needs iron to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that gives the red color to blood. It carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

Questions About D60Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for acquired pure red cell aplasia [erythroblastopenia]?

D60 is the ICD-10-CM category for acquired pure red cell aplasia [erythroblastopenia], but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is D60 (Acquired pure red cell aplasia [erythroblastopenia]) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for acquired pure red cell aplasia [erythroblastopenia], and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for acquired pure red cell aplasia [erythroblastopenia] need a more specific code from this category, such as D60.0, D60.1, and D60.8.

Can D60 be reported with D61.01?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on D60 lists "congenital red cell aplasia (D61.01)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
