ICD-10-CM Code For Acute Posthemorrhagic Anemia: Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group D62 includes acute anemia due to recent blood loss, typically capturing presentations of hemorrhage-induced hemoglobin deficiency and related hemodynamic effects. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document acute blood-loss anemia in clinical scenarios such as trauma, perioperative hemorrhage, or gastrointestinal bleeding, capturing severity and need for interventions like transfusion. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM D62 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM D62: Acute Posthemorrhagic Anemia Overview

The diagnoses in this group represent acute anemia resulting from significant blood loss, affecting circulating hemoglobin and hemodynamic stability. These conditions target the hematologic system and often occur in the setting of trauma, surgery, or gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Accurate coding matters for reimbursement because it documents the acute nature and severity of blood loss, which influences claim adjudication and resource use.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when the patient has documented acute blood loss with resulting anemia temporally linked to hemorrhage, such as from trauma, surgery, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Select these codes to reflect the acute nature of the anemia and any documented interventions or complications related to the blood loss.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient on chronic anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation presents to the emergency department with acute onset weakness, dizziness, hypotension, and a hemoglobin drop from baseline 12 g/dL to 6.8 g/dL after a large gastrointestinal bleed. Resuscitation and stabilization reveal active bleeding with hemodynamic instability, and the acute hemoglobin decline attributable to the hemorrhagic event leads to assignment of an acute posthemorrhagic anemia code. Typical codes: D62
A middle-aged trauma patient is brought to the trauma center after a motor vehicle collision with multiple fractures and substantial blood loss in the prehospital setting; on arrival the patient is tachycardic, hypotensive, and laboratory testing shows a marked acute decrease in hemoglobin compared with prior records. The acute anemia is directly related to the recent hemorrhage from traumatic injuries and is coded as an acute posthemorrhagic anemia during the hospitalization for blood loss management and operative interventions. Typical codes: D62
A postpartum patient develops heavy vaginal bleeding following delivery leading to symptomatic pallor, fatigue, and a rapid decline in hemoglobin requiring transfusion and close inpatient monitoring. Because the anemia developed acutely from the peripartum hemorrhage and necessitated immediate treatment, the diagnosis is recorded using an acute posthemorrhagic anemia code. Typical codes: D62
