About D64.8
D64.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified anemias. It belongs to category D64 (other anemias), block D60-D64 (aplastic and other anemias and other bone marrow failure syndromes) and chapter 3 (diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.
Within D64, choose D64.8 (Other specified anemias) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: hereditary sideroblastic anemia (D64.0), secondary sideroblastic anemia due to disease (D64.1), secondary sideroblastic anemia due to drugs and toxins (D64.2), other sideroblastic anemias (D64.3), congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (D64.4) and anemia, unspecified (D64.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D64.81 (chemotherapy) and D64.89 (anemias).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
