D62Acute posthemorrhagic anemia

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

D62 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for acute posthemorrhagic anemia. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • anemia due to chronic blood loss (D50.0)
  • blood loss anemia NOS (D50.0)
  • congenital anemia from fetal blood loss (P61.3)

Other codes that can never be billed with D62

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D62. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D62 alone.

  • D50.0Iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss (chronic)

Risk adjustment

D62 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

D62 is named in 9 Medicare coverage policies 9 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
