- Disorder › sickle-cell › specified type NEC (of)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to D57.8.
- Hb-SD disease
- Hb-SE disease
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from D57
The conditions below can never be reported together with D57.8 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- other hemoglobinopathies (D58.-)
Use additional code — inherited from D57
Report an additional code alongside D57.8 to fully describe the condition. D57.8 is sequenced first.
- code for any associated fever (R50.81)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 3
The conditions below are not part of D57.8, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, D57.8 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- autoimmune disease (systemic) NOS (M35.9)
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
