How would we code secondary anemia due to Menorrhagia
Patient is having excessive bleeding with menstrual cycle and developed anemia. I think it should be coded N92.0 and D64.9. Can you please advise if this is correct way to code this? Thanks!

In medical terminology, menorrhagia is an excessive blood loss in a menstrual cycle. I googled secondary anemia due to menorrhagia and found this answer: D50.0. I then went to my coding manual to check out the code and it said iron deficency anemia secondary to blood loss (chronic). To further see if this is the correct code, I went to FindACode and put in the description which gave me my confirmation.
