The anemia codes are used when a pt is NOT bleeding but does require a transfusion because their Hgb or Hct are low. Usually I use iron deficiency anemia as the code in this event unless it is clearly a documented [[Hemolytic anemia]] or [[B12 anemia]]. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 14:36, 10 January 2012 (CST) | |||
