D69.8 — Other specified hemorrhagic conditions
D69.8 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for other specified hemorrhagic conditions. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Capillary fragility (hereditary)
- Vascular pseudohemophilia
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above D69.8
These are not written on D69.8, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing D69.8 with anything listed here is a denial.
Written on D69 — Purpura and other hemorrhagic conditions
Other codes that can never be billed with D69.8
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D69.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D69.8 alone.
Risk adjustment
D69.8 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.
Medicare coverage
D69.8 is named in 23 Medicare coverage policies — 23 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
