ICD-10 Code D57.80 – Other sickle-cell disorders without crisis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D57.80 – Other sickle-cell disorders without crisis
What it is
This code identifies sickle-cell disorder that does not fit a more specific subtype and is not currently in crisis. Use it when the record documents a sickling disorder, but no acute vaso-occlusive event is present.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have chronic anemia, jaundice, fatigue, or other manifestations of sickle-cell disease, but the chart should not describe an active pain crisis or acute complication.
When to use this code
Use D57.80 when the provider documents an “other” sickle-cell disorder and explicitly states there is no crisis. It also fits follow-up or routine management visits where the condition is present but stable. If the note names a more specific sickle-cell subtype, choose that code instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for sickle-cell crisis, acute chest syndrome, or other documented acute complications. If the record supports a more specific sickle-cell diagnosis, code that condition rather than this unspecified category.
Coding tip
Check the provider’s wording carefully: “without crisis” must be documented, and any acute sickle-cell complication should be coded separately when supported.
