Is D68.0 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. D68.0 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does D68.0 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 D68.0?

D68.0 carries Excludes1 notes, which means the conditions they list can never be coded together with it on the same encounter. Some are written on the categories above D68.0 (D68) and apply to it just the same.

D68.0

D68.0 — Von Willebrand disease

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

D68.0 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for von willebrand disease. 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.

capillary fragility (hereditary) (D69.8)
factor VIII deficiency NOS (D66)
factor VIII deficiency with functional defect (D66)

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above D68.0

These are not written on D68.0, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing D68.0 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on D68 — Other coagulation defects

abnormal coagulation profile NOS (R79.1)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above D68.0

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of D68.0, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on D68 — Other coagulation defects

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 D68.0

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D68.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D68.0 alone.

R04.81Acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage in infants
R79.1Abnormal coagulation profile
D66Hereditary factor VIII deficiency

Risk adjustment

D68.0 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 history

D68.0 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.

Code to one of these instead D68.0

6 child codes. Green means billable.
