Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Drug-induced enzyme deficiency anemia
Other codes that can never be billed with D59.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D59.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D59.2 alone.
- D55Anemia due to enzyme disorders
Risk adjustment
D59.2 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Medicare coverage
D59.2 is named in 2 Medicare coverage policies — 2 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
- A59105Billing and Coding: Off-Label Use of Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG)
- A60187Billing and Coding: Off-Label Use of Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG)
