What This Code Means

A patient is currently taking a myelosuppressive agent, a medication that reduces bone marrow function and decreases blood cell production.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this broader code when the specific type of myelosuppressive agent is not documented or when multiple agents are used
  • •Monitor CBC values and document any resulting cytopenias with appropriate codes
