About coding Hypofibrinogenemia
The ICD-10-CM code for Hypofibrinogenemia is D68.8 (Other specified coagulation defects). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on D68.8.
Within D68, choose D68.8 (Other specified coagulation defects) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: von Willebrand disease (D68.0), hereditary factor XI deficiency (D68.1), hereditary deficiency of other clotting factors (D68.2), hemorrhagic disorder due to circulating anticoagulants (D68.3), acquired coagulation factor deficiency (D68.4), primary thrombophilia (D68.5), other thrombophilia (D68.6) and coagulation defect, unspecified (D68.9).
Don't report D68.8 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: hemorrhagic disease of newborn (P53).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
