Where these codes group
10 of the 14 codes in D49-D49 group to MMTA - Infectious Disease, Neoplasms, and Blood-Forming Diseases, but the range is not uniform — it spreads across 2 clinical groups. A further 2 are assigned no clinical group at all, which means a 30-day period cannot be grouped from them.
