Immunodeficiency associated with other major defects
Chapter 3:Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs
ICD-10 D82 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of immunodeficiency associated with other major defects.
D82 refers to a group of immunodeficiency disorders that are associated with significant structural or functional defects in other organ systems. These conditions can lead to a compromised immune response, making patients more susceptible to infections and other complications. The immunodeficiency may be secondary to congenital anomalies, such as those affecting the blood and blood-forming organs, or may arise from hematologic conditions like aplastic anemia or certain leukemias. Patients may present with recurrent infections, failure to thrive, and other systemic symptoms. The management of these patients often requires a multidisciplinary approach, including hematology, immunology, and sometimes genetics, to address both the immunodeficiency and the underlying defects. Accurate coding is essential for proper treatment planning and reimbursement, as well as for tracking epidemiological data related to these complex conditions.
Detailed lab results, history of blood disorders, and treatment plans.
Patients with aplastic anemia presenting with recurrent infections.
Ensure that all hematologic conditions are documented to support the immunodeficiency diagnosis.
Comprehensive immune function tests and history of infections.
Patients with congenital immunodeficiencies requiring immunoglobulin therapy.
Document the specific immunologic tests performed and their results.
Used for laboratory tests to assess immune function.
Document the reason for blood draw and tests ordered.
Hematology and immunology specialties should ensure tests align with the diagnosis.
D81 codes are used for primary immunodeficiency disorders without associated major defects, while D82 is for immunodeficiencies linked to other significant structural or functional defects.
