The diagnostics and treatment of iron deficiency anemia can be carried out before patients undergo surgery as an alternative to blood transfusion and is an interdisciplinary task. This article gives an overview of various billing modalities and payment arrangements for management of preoperative anemia in the German healthcare system.
