Official coding guidelines

There are no chapter-specific rules for Chapter 3 yet, so the general rules in Section I.B apply.
All codes under D60
D60 can't be used on a claim. Pick a billable code below; grey headings group them.
D60 MS-DRGs
As the principal diagnosis, all 4 billable codes under D60 group to MS-DRG 808, 809, or 810 (v44.0). Which one applies depends on procedures performed, secondary diagnoses (CC/MCC), and the patient's age and discharge status.
- DRG 808 Major Hematological and Immunological Diagnoses Except Sickle Cell Crisis and Coagulation Disorders with MCC
- DRG 809 Major Hematological and Immunological Diagnoses Except Sickle Cell Crisis and Coagulation Disorders with CC
- DRG 810 Major Hematological and Immunological Diagnoses Except Sickle Cell Crisis and Coagulation Disorders without CC/MCC
About the condition

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.
