Hi
The antibody screen is part of the ABO Blood Type and Antibody Screen that is performed as a part of the patient coming in and possibly requiring blood transfusion. If the antibody screen is positive, then an antibody identification is performed. I do an antibody panel review and interpretation.
In some circumstances the antibody is due to patient forming antibody after red cell transfusion and/or pregnancy.
In some cases Rh negative patients have received antibody (anti-D) during pregnancy as part of pre-natal care.
What is the most appropriate ICD-10 code (for antibody review and interpretation) to use in these situations?
Thanks.
