Question 1

What is ICD-10 code D62?

Accepted Answer

D62 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Acute posthemorrhagic anemia. This is a sudden drop in red blood cells and hemoglobin caused by significant blood loss. The body hasn't had time to recover or produce new blood cells to replace what was lost. D62 is a billable code, meaning it can be reported on a claim as a primary or secondary diagnosis when supported by documentation. D62 is part of the FY2026 ICD-10-CM code set published by the CMS National Center for Health Statistics and used on Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial claims in the United States.

Question 2

Is D62 an HCC code?

Accepted Answer

No. D62 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to any payment HCC category under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can still be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions, but it does not contribute to the beneficiary's Risk Adjustment Factor (RAF) score and therefore does not affect the risk-adjusted capitation payment to the plan. V28 reached 100% phase-in for payment year 2026.

Question 3

Is D62 billable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. D62 is a billable ICD-10-CM code that can be reported on professional and institutional claims as a primary or secondary diagnosis when the provider documentation supports the specific condition described. Billable codes in ICD-10-CM are coded to the highest level of specificity available for the documented diagnosis. D62 is current for fiscal year 2026 and remains in the active CMS ICD-10-CM code set published by the National Center for Health Statistics.

Question 4

Which HCC does D62 map to under V28?

Accepted Answer

D62 does not map to a CMS-HCC V28 payment category. Check the current CMS-HCC V28 model file for payment year 2026 rather than an older V24 tip sheet.

Question 5

What does D62 pay in RAF?

Accepted Answer

D62 has no separately stated V28 community RAF weight. If it is not a V28 payment HCC, it adds nothing to a community RAF score.

Question 6

What is the V28 vs V24 difference for D62?

Accepted Answer

D62 does not map to a payment HCC under either the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model or the older V24 model. V28 reached 100% phase-in for payment year 2026, replacing V24 which was used during the PY2024–PY2025 transition. Because neither community model rewards D62 with a risk adjustment factor, it contributes zero to a Medicare Advantage beneficiary's V28/V24 community RAF score in either version. Coders should check whether provider documentation supports a more specific child code that does map to a community payment HCC.

Question 7

What documentation supports D62?

Accepted Answer

Always identify and code the underlying cause of blood loss (e.g., gastrointestinal bleed, trauma, surgery) as a secondary diagnosis when documented Verify the hemoglobin level in the medical record to confirm acute anemia diagnosis, and use additional codes for severity if the documentation supports it D62 is not a CMS-HCC payment code, so MEAT is not the payment hook. Documentation still has to support the diagnosis if you report it.
