What This Code Means

D46 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for myelodysplastic syndromes. D46 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering neoplasms of uncertain behavior, polycythemia vera and myelodysplastic syndromes (d37-d48).

Header codes like D46 cannot be reported on claims directly; they organize child codes that share clinical context. Coders should select the billable child code that matches the documented presentation and then verify its current source-backed HCC mapping. Do not infer a child code or risk adjustment value from the header alone.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for D46 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

  • code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)
