Medical necessity is established by the clinical need for a blood transfusion and the occurrence of an adverse reaction due to ABO incompatibility, requiring appropriate medical management.
Clinicians responsible for ordering and administering blood transfusions, typically physicians, nurses, and transfusion specialists, are responsible for ensuring compatibility and managing any subsequent reactions.
In simple words: This code represents a reaction due to incompatible blood types during a blood transfusion, specifically related to the ABO blood group system.
ABO incompatibility reaction due to transfusion of blood or blood products. Excludes1: minor blood group antigens reactions (Duffy) (E) (K) (Kell) (Kidd) (Lewis) (M) (N) (P) (S) (T80.A-)
Example 1: A patient receives a blood transfusion and develops symptoms such as fever, chills, and back pain due to ABO incompatibility., A patient undergoing surgery requires a blood transfusion, and an ABO incompatibility reaction occurs, necessitating immediate medical intervention., A patient with a history of multiple transfusions experiences an ABO incompatibility reaction during a routine blood transfusion, requiring specialized care.
Documentation should include the patient's blood type, the donor blood type, the type and volume of blood products transfused, the signs and symptoms of the reaction, and the treatment provided.
