D68 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for other coagulation defects, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as D68.00, D68.01, D68.020, and D68.021.

Specific Coding for Other coagulation defectsOverview

Non-specific codes like D68 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • D68.0 for Von Willebrand disease

  • Use D68.00 for Von Willebrand disease, unspecified

  • Use D68.01 for Von Willebrand disease, type 1

  • D68.02 for Von Willebrand disease, type 2

  • Use D68.03 for Von Willebrand disease, type 3

  • Use D68.04 for Acquired von Willebrand disease

  • Use D68.09 for Other von Willebrand disease

  • Use D68.1 for Hereditary factor XI deficiency

  • Use D68.2 for Hereditary deficiency of other clotting factors

  • D68.3 for Hemorrhagic disorder due to circulating anticoagulants

  • D68.31 for Hemorrhagic disorder due to intrinsic circulating anticoagulants, antibodies, or inhibitors

  • Use D68.32 for Hemorrhagic disorder due to extrinsic circulating anticoagulants

  • Use D68.4 for Acquired coagulation factor deficiency

  • D68.5 for Primary thrombophilia

  • Use D68.51 for Activated protein C resistance

  • Use D68.52 for Prothrombin gene mutation

  • Use D68.59 for Other primary thrombophilia

  • D68.6 for Other thrombophilia

  • Use D68.61 for Antiphospholipid syndrome

  • Use D68.62 for Lupus anticoagulant syndrome

  • Use D68.69 for Other thrombophilia

  • Use D68.8 for Other specified coagulation defects

  • Use D68.9 for Coagulation defect, unspecified

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to D68: its own notes plus those printed at Chapter 3. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

  • abnormal coagulation profile NOS (R79.1)

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

On D68 itself
  • coagulation defects complicating abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.1)
  • coagulation defects complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O45.0, O46.0, O67.0, O72.3)
From Chapter 3 (D50-D89) Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism applies to 324 codes
  • autoimmune disease (systemic) NOS (M35.9)
  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease (B20)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

Excludes1 1

These codes carry an Excludes1 note naming D68: they are not reported together with it, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

  • R79.1 Abnormal coagulation profile
    coagulation defects (D68.-)

Excludes2 1

These codes carry an Excludes2 note naming D68: its condition is not part of those codes, and both may be reported when the patient has both.

  • Block R70-R79 Abnormal findings on examination of blood, without diagnosis
    coagulation hemorrhagic disorders (D65-D68) names D65-D68, which includes this code

Patient EducationClinical

Bleeding Disorders

Normally, if you get hurt, your body forms a blood clot to stop the bleeding. For blood to clot, your body needs cells called platelets and proteins known as clotting factors. If you have a bleeding disorder, you either do not have enough platelets or clotting factors or they don't work the way they should.

Questions About D68Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other coagulation defects?

D68 is the ICD-10-CM category for other coagulation defects, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is D68 (Other coagulation defects) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other coagulation defects, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other coagulation defects need a more specific code from this category, such as D68.00, D68.01, and D68.020.

Can D68 be reported with R79.1?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on D68 lists "abnormal coagulation profile NOS (R79.1)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
