About coding acute normocytic anemia due to blood loss
The ICD-10-CM code for acute normocytic anemia due to blood loss is D62 (Acute posthemorrhagic anemia).
Don't report D62 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: anemia due to chronic blood loss (D50.0), blood loss anemia NOS (D50.0) and congenital anemia from fetal blood loss (P61.3).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075), DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), DRG 811 (Red Blood Cell Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.3988) and DRG 812 (Red Blood Cell Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.9234), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period) and MDC 16 (Diseases and Disorders of the Blood and Blood Forming Organs and Immunological Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for D62)
