D89.1 — Cryoglobulinemia
D89.1 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for cryoglobulinemia. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Cryoglobulinemic purpura
- Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis
- Essential cryoglobulinemia
- Idiopathic cryoglobulinemia
- Mixed cryoglobulinemia
- Primary cryoglobulinemia
- Secondary cryoglobulinemia
Other codes that can never be billed with D89.1
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D89.1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D89.1 alone.
- D69Purpura and other hemorrhagic conditions
Risk adjustment
D89.1 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
D89.1 is named in 21 Medicare coverage policies — 21 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
