About D73.8

D73.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other diseases of spleen. It belongs to category D73 (diseases of spleen), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within D73, choose D73.8 (Other diseases of spleen) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Hyposplenism (D73.0), Hypersplenism (D73.1), chronic congestive splenomegaly (D73.2), abscess of spleen (D73.3), cyst of spleen (D73.4), infarction of spleen (D73.5) and disease of spleen, unspecified (D73.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D73.81 (splenomegaly) and D73.89 (spleen).

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