ICD-10 Code D68.02 – Von Willebrand disease, type 2 (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D68.02 – Von Willebrand disease, type 2
What it is
D68.02 identifies type 2 von Willebrand disease, an inherited bleeding disorder caused by abnormal von Willebrand factor function. Use it when documentation specifies a type 2 subtype rather than another form.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly reported findings include mucocutaneous bleeding, easy bruising, prolonged nosebleeds, and excessive bleeding after dental work or surgery.
When to use this code
Use D68.02 when the provider documents von Willebrand disease type 2, including subtypes such as 2A, 2B, 2M, or 2N if stated. Code it from a confirmed diagnosis, not from family history alone. If the subtype is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for type 1 or type 3 von Willebrand disease, or for unspecified von Willebrand disease. Also avoid it when the record only mentions bleeding symptoms without a documented diagnosis.
Coding tip
Look for the exact subtype and documented diagnosis wording; if the note says only “von Willebrand disease,” check documentation before assigning D68.02.
