Where these codes group
121 of the 142 codes in A50-A64 group to MMTA - Infectious Disease, Neoplasms, and Blood-Forming Diseases, but the range is not uniform — it spreads across 3 clinical groups. A further 1 are assigned no clinical group at all, which means a 30-day period cannot be grouped from them.
