ICD-10 Code D68.022 – Von Willebrand disease, type 2M (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D68.022 – Von Willebrand disease, type 2M
What it is
D68.022 identifies type 2M von Willebrand disease, an inherited bleeding disorder caused by abnormal von Willebrand factor function. The protein amount may be normal, but its ability to bind platelets is reduced.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include easy bruising, frequent nosebleeds, prolonged bleeding after injury or procedures, and mucosal bleeding. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use D68.022 when the provider documents von Willebrand disease, type 2M, or confirms this subtype in the assessment. Code it for encounters where the diagnosis is active, evaluated, or affects management. If the subtype is not specified, check documentation before assigning this code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for other von Willebrand subtypes, such as type 1 or type 2A, 2B, or 2N. Do not assign it for nonspecific bleeding or a suspected disorder without documented type 2M.
Coding tip
Verify the exact von Willebrand subtype in the record; type 2M is not interchangeable with other type 2 variants.
