What neutropenic fever ICD codes can I use?
There are no specific neutropenic fever ICD codes for billing and coding. However, you can use the following ICD codes instead:
- D70.9 - Neutropenia, unspecified
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have neutropenia. As to what caused it, well, it’s unspecified. Since it’s possible to get a fever caused by neutropenia, referred to as neutropenic fever or febrile neutropenia,, this ICD-10 code can be used.
- D70.8 - Other neutropenia
This is the same as Item 1. But it’s best used only if your patient has neutropenia that doesn’t have a specific ICD-10 code.
- P61.5 - Transient neonatal neutropenia
This ICD-10 code is meant for neonatal patients confirmed to have transient neonatal neutropenia. If they have a fever accompanying the neutropenia, you may use this ICD-10 code.
- R50.81 - Fever presenting with conditions classified elsewhere
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on patients confirmed to have fever as a result of certain conditions. You may use this for neutropenic fever cases.
