CodeDescriptionWhen to UseKey Documentation
D47.1Chronic myeloproliferative diseaseUse for unspecified or unclassifiable myeloproliferative disorders.
  • JAK2 mutation
  • Splenomegaly
  • Thrombocytosis
D45Polycythemia veraUse when polycythemia vera is confirmed by lab tests.
  • Elevated RBC mass
  • JAK2 V617F mutation
D47.3Essential thrombocythemiaUse when essential thrombocythemia is confirmed by exclusion of reactive causes.
  • Platelet count >450,000/µL
  • Absence of BCR-ABL1

Clinical Decision Support

Always review the patient's clinical documentation thoroughly. When in doubt, choose the more specific code and ensure documentation supports it.

Key Information: ICD-10 code for myeloproliferative disorder

Essential facts and insights about Myeloproliferative Disorder

The ICD-10 code for unspecified chronic myeloproliferative disorder is D47.1. Specific subtypes like Polycythemia Vera and Essential Thrombocythemia have their own codes: D45 and D47.3 respectively.

Billable Code

Decision Criteria

clinical Criteria

  • Presence of JAK2 mutation and splenomegaly.

documentation Criteria

  • Explicit mention of chronic myeloproliferative disease.

Applicable To

  • Chronic myeloproliferative disorder

Excludes

  • Myelodysplastic syndromes (D46.-)
  • Polycythemia vera (D45)

Clinical Validation Requirements

  • JAK2 mutation
  • Splenomegaly
  • Thrombocytosis

Code-Specific Risks

  • Misclassification if specific subtype is not documented.

Coding Notes

  • Ensure specific subtype is documented to avoid using D47.1 as a default.

Ancillary Codes

Additional codes that should be used in conjunction with the main diagnosis codes when applicable.

Other thrombophilia

D68.69
Use when there is a documented hypercoagulable state.

Differential Codes

Alternative codes to consider when ruling out similar conditions to the primary diagnosis.

Polycythemia vera

D45
Confirmed by elevated RBC mass and JAK2 V617F mutation.

Essential thrombocythemia

D47.3
Characterized by sustained thrombocytosis and absence of BCR-ABL1.

Secondary polycythemia

D75.1
Caused by hypoxia or other secondary factors.

Reactive thrombocytosis

D75.81
Due to iron deficiency or inflammation.

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common documentation and coding issues when documenting Myeloproliferative Disorder to ensure proper reimbursement, maintain compliance, and reduce audit risk. These guidelines are particularly important when using ICD-10 code D47.1.

Impact

Clinical: Misrepresentation of patient's condition., Regulatory: Potential audit issues., Financial: Incorrect reimbursement rates.

Mitigation Strategy

Verify specific subtype before coding., Consult clinical documentation.

Impact

Reimbursement: Incorrect coding can lead to denied claims., Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines., Data Quality: Inaccurate clinical data representation.

Mitigation Strategy

Require explicit documentation of hypercoagulability.

Impact

Risk of using unspecified codes without supporting documentation.

Mitigation Strategy

Require detailed clinical documentation and lab results.

Documentation errors, coding pitfalls, and audit risks are interconnected aspects of medical coding and billing. Addressing all three areas helps ensure accurate coding, optimal reimbursement, and regulatory compliance.

Chronic Myeloproliferative Disease Management

Specialty: Hematology

Required Elements

  • Patient history
  • Physical examination findings
  • Laboratory results
  • Treatment plan

Example Documentation

Patient presents with splenomegaly and elevated platelet count. JAK2 mutation confirmed. Plan includes hydroxyurea therapy.

Examples: Poor vs. Good Documentation

Poor Documentation Example
Patient has thrombocytosis.
Good Documentation Example
Patient has essential thrombocythemia confirmed by platelet count >450,000/µL and negative BCR-ABL1.
Explanation
The good example provides specific diagnostic criteria and excludes reactive causes.
