ICD-10-CM Code D56.0
Alpha thalassemia

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

D56.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of alpha thalassemia. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code D560 is used to code Alpha-thalassemia

Alpha-thalassemia (α-thalassemia, α-thalassaemia) is a form of thalassemia involving the genes HBA1 and HBA2. Alpha-thalassemia is due to impaired production of alpha chains from 1,2,3, or all 4 of the alpha globin genes, leading to a relative excess of beta globin chains. The degree of impairment is based on which clinical phenotype is present (how many genes are affected).

Additional Code Note:
Use Additional Code
Use Additional Code note means a second code must be used in conjunction with this code. Codes with this note are Etiology codes and must be followed by a Manifestation code or codes.
Code, if applicable, for hydrops fetalis due to alpha thalassemia See code P56.99

Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."
Alpha thalassemia trait or minor - instead, use code D56.3
Asymptomatic alpha thalassemia - instead, use code D56.3
Hydrops fetalis due to isoimmunization - instead, use code P56.0
Hydrops fetalis not due to immune hemolysis - instead, use code P83.2

Alpha thalassemia (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 282.43 was previously used, D56.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
