E83.111
BillableHemochromatosis due to repeated red blood cell transfusions
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This condition occurs when a person receives multiple blood transfusions over time, causing iron to accumulate in the body to dangerous levels. The excess iron can damage organs like the heart, liver, and pancreas.
Coding Tips
- •This code should only be used when hemochromatosis is directly caused by repeated transfusions; verify the transfusion history is documented in the medical record
- •Ensure the underlying condition requiring transfusions is also coded separately (e.g., sickle cell disease, thalassemia, or other chronic anemias)
