I need to attach a diagnosis code that states the patient is on an anticoagulant and is high risk for spine surgery.

The two diagnosis that I am leaning towards are : 1) z79.01 for long term anticoagulant therapy and 2) D68.32 for Hemorrhagic disorder due to extrinsic circulating anticoagulants

Does anyone know if this is the correct way to code this scenario?

Thank you for your help,

Stephanie
