About coding posthemorrhagic anemia
The ICD-10-CM code for posthemorrhagic anemia is D50.0 (Iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss (chronic)). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on D50.0.
Within D50 (iron deficiency anemia), D50.0 is specifically for iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss (chronic). Related codes cover Sideropenic dysphagia (D50.1), other iron deficiency anemias (D50.8) and unspecified (D50.9).
Don't report D50.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: acute posthemorrhagic anemia (D62) and congenital anemia from fetal blood loss (P61.3).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
