ICD-10 Code D69.2 – Other nonthrombocytopenic purpura (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D69.2 – Other nonthrombocytopenic purpura
What it is
This code identifies purpura, or purple skin discoloration from bleeding under the skin, when it is not caused by low platelet counts. Use it for nonthrombocytopenic purpura that is otherwise documented as other or unspecified.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include petechiae, ecchymoses, or palpable purpuric lesions, with normal platelet counts if documented. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use D69.2 when the record states purpura or nonthrombocytopenic purpura and the cause is not further specified. It also fits when the clinician documents a purpuric rash without thrombocytopenia and no more specific diagnosis is available. Check documentation if another underlying disorder is named.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for purpura due to thrombocytopenia or for conditions with a more specific diagnosis, such as vasculitis or coagulation disorders. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the underlying condition first if the provider identifies a specific cause of the purpura.
