ICD-10 Code D68.00 – Von Willebrand disease, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D68.00 – Von Willebrand disease, unspecified
What it is
D68.00 identifies von Willebrand disease when the record does not specify a type. It refers to an inherited bleeding disorder caused by abnormal or reduced von Willebrand factor.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings include easy bruising, frequent nosebleeds, prolonged bleeding after injury or procedures, and heavy menstrual bleeding.
When to use this code
Use D68.00 when the provider documents von Willebrand disease without naming type 1, 2, or 3. It also fits when the chart confirms the disorder but does not include enough detail for a more specific code. Check documentation if inherited bleeding disorder is suspected but not confirmed.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for other coagulation defects, platelet disorders, or nonspecific bleeding symptoms alone. If the record identifies a specific von Willebrand type, code that type instead.
Coding tip
Code the highest documented specificity; if the type is missing, D68.00 is appropriate.
