D70 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of neutropenia. 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 Neutropenia
Non-specific codes like D70 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 neutropenia:
Use D70.0 for Congenital agranulocytosis - BILLABLE CODE
Use D70.1 for Agranulocytosis secondary to cancer chemotherapy - BILLABLE CODE
Use D70.2 for Other drug-induced agranulocytosis - BILLABLE CODE
Use D70.3 for Neutropenia due to infection - BILLABLE CODE
Use D70.4 for Cyclic neutropenia - BILLABLE CODE
Use D70.8 for Other neutropenia - BILLABLE CODE
Use D70.9 for Neutropenia, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE
Clinical Information
Chemotherapy-Induced Febrile Neutropenia
fever accompanied by a significant reduction in neutrophil count associated with chemotherapy.Febrile Neutropenia
fever accompanied by a significant reduction in the number of neutrophils.Neutropenia
a decrease in the number of neutrophils found in the blood.Neutrophils
granular leukocytes having a nucleus with three to five lobes connected by slender threads of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing fine inconspicuous granules and stainable by neutral dyes.
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.
Includes
IncludesThis note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- agranulocytosis
- decreased absolute neurophile count (ANC)
Code Also
Code AlsoA "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
Use Additional Code
Use Additional CodeThe “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
- code for any associated:
- fever R50.81
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA 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.
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.
