About coding Herrick's anemia
The ICD-10-CM code for Herrick's anemia is D57.1 (Sickle-cell disease without crisis).
Within D57, choose D57.1 (Sickle-cell disease without crisis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Hb-SS disease with crisis (D57.0), Sickle-cell/Hb-C disease (D57.2), sickle-cell trait (D57.3), sickle-cell thalassemia (D57.4) and other sickle-cell disorders (D57.8).
Use an additional code for any associated fever (R50.81).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
