About coding stress polycythemia
The ICD-10-CM code for stress polycythemia is D75.1 (Secondary polycythemia).
Within D75 (other and unspecified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs), D75.1 is specifically for secondary polycythemia. Related codes cover familial erythrocytosis (D75.0), other specified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs (D75.8), disease of blood and blood-forming organs, unspecified (D75.9) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency without anemia (D75.A).
Don't report D75.1 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: polycythemia neonatorum (P61.1) and polycythemia vera (D45).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for D75.1)
