Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to D72: 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.

Blood Disorders

Your blood is living tissue made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

Questions About D72Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other disorders of white blood cells?

D72 is the ICD-10-CM category for other disorders of white blood cells, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is D72 (Other disorders of white blood cells) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other disorders of white blood cells, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other disorders of white blood cells need a more specific code from this category, such as D72.0, D72.10, and D72.110.

Can D72 be reported with D72.824?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on D72 lists "basophilia (D72.824)". 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).
