D74 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of methemoglobinemia. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Methemoglobinemia

Non-specific codes like D74 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for methemoglobinemia:

  • Use D74.0 for Congenital methemoglobinemia - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use D74.8 for Other methemoglobinemias - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use D74.9 for Methemoglobinemia, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Information

  • Methemoglobinemia

    the presence of methemoglobin in the blood, resulting in cyanosis. a small amount of methemoglobin is present in the blood normally, but injury or toxic agents convert a larger proportion of hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which does not function reversibly as an oxygen carrier. methemoglobinemia may be due to a defect in the enzyme nadh methemoglobin reductase (an autosomal recessive trait) or to an abnormality in hemoglobin m (an autosomal dominant trait).

Patient Education


Blood Disorders

Your blood is living tissue made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

Blood disorders affect one or more parts of the blood and prevent your blood from doing its job. They can be acute or chronic. Many blood disorders are inherited. Other causes include other diseases, side effects of medicines, and a lack of certain nutrients in your diet.

Types of blood disorders include:

  • Platelet disorders, excessive clotting, and bleeding problems, which affect how your blood clots
  • Anemia, which happens when your blood does not carry enough oxygen to the rest of your body
  • Cancers of the blood, such as leukemia and myeloma
  • Eosinophilic disorders, which are problems with one type of white blood cell.
