D61.8Other specified aplastic anemias and other bone marrow failure syndromes

D61.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified aplastic anemias and other bone marrow failure syndromes. It belongs to category D61 (other aplastic anemias and other bone marrow failure syndromes), block D60-D64 (aplastic and other anemias and other bone marrow failure syndromes) and chapter 3 (diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within D61, choose D61.8 (Other specified aplastic anemias and other bone marrow failure syndromes) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: constitutional aplastic anemia (D61.0), drug-induced aplastic anemia (D61.1), aplastic anemia due to other external agents (D61.2), idiopathic aplastic anemia (D61.3) and aplastic anemia, unspecified (D61.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D61.81 (pancytopenia), D61.82 (Myelophthisis) and D61.89 (syndromes).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
