I am trying to code for one of our patients. Patient has MDS which causes their Anemia. Pts Anemia has become transfusion dependent. Do I just code the MDS and Anemia, or is there another code/modifier I need to use for the transfusions that the patient is now dependent on? Its documented in the drs dictation. PLEASE help! Ive looked up transfusions and they usually are just listed as "reaction to" or "complications". Any help would be appreciated!!
