ICD-10 Code D61.89 – Other specified aplastic anemias and other bone marrow failure syndromes (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D61.89 – Other specified aplastic anemias and other bone marrow failure syndromes
What it is
This code identifies a documented aplastic anemia or bone marrow failure syndrome that does not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM category. Use it when the record names another specified marrow failure disorder.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include evidence of marrow failure with reduced blood cell production, such as anemia, infection risk, or bleeding tendency.
When to use this code
Use D61.89 when the provider clearly documents a specific aplastic anemia or bone marrow failure syndrome that is not otherwise classified. It is appropriate for “other specified” marrow failure diagnoses when the chart supports the condition but no more precise code is available.
Choose this code only after reviewing the note for a named disorder, prior history, or assessment that matches this category. If documentation is vague or incomplete, check documentation before assigning the code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified aplastic anemia or for conditions with a more exact ICD-10-CM diagnosis. Also avoid it when the record does not clearly support a bone marrow failure syndrome.
Coding tip
If the provider uses a nonspecific term, query for the exact marrow failure diagnosis before coding D61.89.
