ICD-10 Code D68.0 – Von Willebrand disease (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D68.0 – Von Willebrand disease
What it is
D68.0 identifies von Willebrand disease, an inherited bleeding disorder caused by reduced or abnormal von Willebrand factor. It affects platelet adhesion and may also lower factor VIII activity.
Clinical signs
Common findings include easy bruising, frequent nosebleeds, prolonged bleeding after injury or dental work, and heavy menstrual bleeding. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use D68.0 when the provider documents von Willebrand disease as the confirmed diagnosis. It also applies when the record specifies the disorder type without a more detailed ICD-10-CM subtype available. Code the condition based on documented history, current evaluation, or ongoing management.
Do not use for
Do not use D68.0 for nonspecific bleeding symptoms without a diagnosis of von Willebrand disease. Also avoid it when the chart documents another coagulation disorder or a bleeding problem from a different cause.
Coding tip
Check the note for the exact diagnosis wording; if von Willebrand disease is only suspected, do not code it as confirmed.
