Tabular List NotesGuidance

Inclusion Terms
- COVID-19 associated coagulopathy
Code Also
- , if applicable, associated condition
Type 1 Excludes
- hemorrhagic disease of newborn P53
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical ClassificationClinical
AHRQ’s CCSR groups this code into broader clinical categories.
Clinical InformationClinical
Afibrinogenemia
a deficiency or absence of fibrinogen in the blood.Fibrinogen
plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides a and b, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.Afibrinogenemia
a blood coagulation disorder characterized by the complete absence of fibrinogen in the blood, resulting in bleeding.
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 D68.8Overview
Is D68.8 (Other coagulation defects) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other specified coagulation defects on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of D68.8?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, other specified coagulation defects converts to ICD-9-CM 286.9 (coagulat defect NEC/NOS). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
Footnotes
[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:
- The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
- The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
