D72.8Other specified disorders of white blood cells

D72.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified disorders of white blood cells. It belongs to category D72 (other disorders of white blood cells), block D70-D77 (other disorders of blood and blood-forming organs) 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 D72, choose D72.8 (Other specified disorders of white blood cells) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: genetic anomalies of leukocytes (D72.0), eosinophilia (D72.1) and disorder of white blood cells, unspecified (D72.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D72.81 (count), D72.82 (count) and D72.89 (cells).

Don't report D72.8 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: leukemia (C91-C95).

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