*A joint effort between the healthcare provider and the coder is essential to achieve complete and accurate documentation, code assignment, and reporting of diagnoses and procedures. This information is provided to assist both the healthcare provider and the coder in identifying potential diagnoses. The importance of consistent, complete documentation in the medical record cannot be overemphasized. Without such documentation, accurate coding cannot be achieved. The entire record should be reviewed to determine the specific reason for the encounter and the conditions treated.
†Secondary code suggestions only; appropriate codes not limited to those listed above. Injectafer is indicated to treat IDA; it is not indicated to treat the above listed underlying conditions. Some listed diagnosis codes may indicate a subcategory and be nonbillable. For reporting purposes, only codes with the full number of required characters are permissible.
