What ICD-10 codes are used for macrocytosis?
Macrocytosis refers to the presence of larger-than-normal red blood cells, often seen in blood tests. While it can indicate a variety of medical conditions, its accurate coding is vital for patient care, research, and medical billing. The ICD-10-CM offers standardized codes for this hematological finding.
There are no ICD-10 codes that have macrocytosis in their name, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. Only one ICD-10-CM code can be used for macrocytosis, and it's D75.89 - Other specified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs.
(Note: Macrocytosis, as a descriptive term for larger red blood cells, is often a laboratory finding and might not always have a direct ICD-10-CM code. You, the healthcare provider, would code for the underlying condition causing the macrocytosis.)
