D75.1
BillableSecondary polycythemia
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
An acquired condition where the body produces too many red blood cells in response to another disease or condition, such as chronic lung disease or kidney disease.
Coding Tips
- •Always identify and code the underlying cause of secondary polycythemia (e.g., hypoxia, renal disease, or malignancy)
- •Distinguish from familial erythrocytosis (D75.0) which is inherited rather than acquired
