Is D68 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. D68 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does D68 sit in the tabular list?

Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (D50-D89), in the block Coagulation defects, purpura and other hemorrhagic conditions (D65-D69).

What cannot be coded together with D68?

D68 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

D68 — Other coagulation defects

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

D68 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other coagulation defects. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

abnormal coagulation profile NOS (R79.1)

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

coagulation defects complicating abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.1)
coagulation defects complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O45.0, O46.0, O67.0, O72.3)

Other codes that can never be billed with D68

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D68. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D68 alone.

R04.81Acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage in infants
R79.1Abnormal coagulation profile
E56.1Deficiency of vitamin K
D66Hereditary factor VIII deficiency
D68.5Primary thrombophilia

Risk adjustment

D68 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead D68

9 child codes. Green means billable.
