Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

Qualitative defect in von Willebrand factor function, with no further subtyping

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above D68.029

These are not written on D68.029, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing D68.029 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on D68.0 — Von Willebrand disease

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

Written on D68 — Other coagulation defects

abnormal coagulation profile NOS (R79.1)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above D68.029

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of D68.029, 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 D68.029

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D68.029. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D68.029 alone.

R79.1Abnormal coagulation profile

Medicare coverage

D68.029 is named in 1 Medicare coverage policy — 1 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
