ICD10 code of Anemia and ICD9 code

Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. The ICD-10 code for anemia is D64. This code includes various types of anemia such as iron deficiency anemia (D50), vitamin B12 deficiency anemia (D51), and anemia due to chronic disease (D63). Each type of anemia has its specific code within the D64 category.

In contrast, the ICD-9 code for anemia is 285.9. This code is a general code for unspecified anemia and does not provide detailed information about the specific type of anemia. In ICD-9, specific types of anemia are classified under different codes such as iron deficiency anemia (280.0), vitamin B12 deficiency anemia (281.0), and anemia due to chronic kidney disease (285.21).

It is important to note that ICD-10 is the current coding system used internationally, while ICD-9 has been replaced and is no longer used for reporting medical diagnoses. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in October 2015 to allow for more specific and detailed coding of medical conditions.
