      (D60-D64)
      • Other anemias
        (D64)

D64 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other anemias. 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 Other anemias

Non-specific codes like D64 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 other anemias:

  • Use D64.0 for Hereditary sideroblastic anemia - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use D64.1 for Secondary sideroblastic anemia due to disease - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use D64.2 for Secondary sideroblastic anemia due to drugs and toxins - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use D64.3 for Other sideroblastic anemias - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use D64.4 for Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia - BILLABLE CODE

  • D64.8 for Other specified anemias - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use D64.81 for Anemia due to antineoplastic chemotherapy - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use D64.89 for Other specified anemias - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use D64.9 for Anemia, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
  • refractory anemia D46
  • refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation RAEB T C92.0

Patient Education


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.

Anemia has three main causes: blood loss, lack of red blood cell production, and high rates of red blood cell destruction.

Conditions that may lead to anemia include:

  • Heavy periods
  • Pregnancy
  • Ulcers
  • Colon polyps or colon cancer
  • Inherited disorders
  • A diet that does not have enough iron, folic acid or vitamin B12
  • Blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia, or cancer
  • Aplastic anemia, a condition that can be inherited or acquired
  • G6PD deficiency, a metabolic disorder

Anemia can make you feel tired, cold, dizzy, and irritable. You may be short of breath or have a headache.

Your doctor will diagnose anemia with a physical exam and blood tests. Treatment depends on the kind of anemia you have.
