Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Hemorrhagic (thrombocytopenic) purpura
- Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
- Tidal platelet dysgenesis
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above D69.3
These are not written on D69.3, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing D69.3 with anything listed here is a denial.
Written on D69 — Purpura and other hemorrhagic conditions
Other codes that can never be billed with D69.3
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D69.3. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D69.3 alone.
Risk adjustment
D69.3 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 112 Immune Thrombocytopenia and Specified Coagulation Defects and Hemorrhagic Conditions0.450 RAF
Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
Medicare coverage
D69.3 is named in 17 Medicare coverage policies — 17 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
