ICD-10-CM D68.8
CMSSource: CMS FY 2027 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2026 – Sep 30, 2027

D68.8 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified coagulation defects. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 813. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 51 closely related codes. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Coagulation and hemorrhagic disorders.

D68.8 no longer risk-adjusts for Medicare Advantage: it mapped to HCC 48 under the retired CMS-HCC V24 model through payment year 2025 but maps to no category in the live V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 48, ESRD (V21) category 48, and ESRD (V24) category 48 for payment year 2027.

Medicare Risk Adjustment (HCC)Billing

D68.8 no longer risk-adjusts for Medicare Advantage: it maps to no payment category in the live CMS-HCC V28 model, although it still risk-adjusts in the other CMS models shown below.

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

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

The ICD-10-CM code for other specified coagulation defects is D68.8 (sometimes written as D688). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

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, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does D68.8 group to?

When other specified coagulation defects is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 813 (coagulation Disorders), which carries a relative weight of 1.5279. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is D68.8 a CC or MCC?

CMS lists D68.8 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 51 closely related codes in its exclusion list.

Can D68.8 be reported with P53?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on D68.8 lists "hemorrhagic disease of newborn (P53)". 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).

Does D68.8 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?

Not for Medicare Advantage. D68.8 mapped to HCC 48 in the retired CMS-HCC V24 model, which last determined payment in 2025, but it maps to no category in the live V28 model; see all codes that no longer risk-adjust. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 48 (Coagulation Defects and Other Specified Hematological Disorders), ESRD (V21) category 48 (Coagulation Defects and Other Specified Hematological Disorders), and ESRD (V24) category 48 (Coagulation Defects and Other Specified Hematological Disorders).
