D75.829 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, unspecified. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 791, 793, 813. Coders also document this condition as drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Coagulation and hemorrhagic disorders.
D75.829 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.

Blood Thinners
Blood thinners are medicines that prevent blood clots from forming. They do not break up clots that you already have. But they can stop those clots from getting bigger. It's important to treat blood clots, because clots in your blood vessels and heart can cause heart attacks, strokes, and blockages.
