ICD-10 Code D69.9 – Hemorrhagic condition, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D69.9 – Hemorrhagic condition, unspecified
What it is
D69.9 is used for a hemorrhagic condition when the record confirms abnormal bleeding or bleeding tendency, but the exact disorder is not named. It is a nonspecific code for documentation that lacks a more precise diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common references include easy bruising, petechiae, mucosal bleeding, or prolonged bleeding, but you should only code what is clearly documented.
When to use this code
Use D69.9 when the provider documents a hemorrhagic disorder or bleeding condition without identifying the specific cause or type. It also fits when the note confirms a bleeding disorder, but the chart does not support a more specific code.
If later documentation names a specific disorder, report that diagnosis instead. Check documentation when the record mentions bleeding symptoms alone, since symptoms by themselves may need different coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for trauma-related bleeding, routine postoperative bleeding, or a clearly identified coagulation disorder. If the cause is known, choose the more specific diagnosis.
Coding tip
Before assigning D69.9, look for a documented diagnosis rather than bleeding symptoms alone.
