ICD-10 Code for Anemia
Also indexed as (essential) (general) (hemoglobin deficiency) (infantile) (primary) (profound)
The ICD-10-CM code for anemia is D64.9 — Anemia, unspecified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for anemia with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
BillableUnspecified
D64.9 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
Which anemia code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 96 codes under Anemia. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
