D68Other coagulation defects

D68 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other coagulation defects. It belongs to block D65-D69 (coagulation defects, purpura and other hemorrhagic conditions) 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 9 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D68.0 (disease), D68.1 (deficiency), D68.2 (factors), D68.3 (anticoagulants), D68.4 (deficiency), D68.5 (thrombophilia), D68.6 (thrombophilia), D68.8 (defects) and 1 more.

Don't report D68 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: abnormal coagulation profile NOS (R79.1).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of D68, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: coagulation defects complicating abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.1) and coagulation defects complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O45.0, O46.0, O67.0, O72.3).

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