ICD-10 Code D68.029 – Von Willebrand disease, type 2, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D68.029 – Von Willebrand disease, type 2, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies a diagnosed type 2 von Willebrand disease when the subtype is not further specified. It reflects an inherited bleeding disorder caused by abnormal von Willebrand factor function.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings include easy bruising, mucosal bleeding, frequent nosebleeds, heavy menstrual bleeding, or prolonged bleeding after injury or procedures.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record confirms type 2 von Willebrand disease but does not identify the exact subtype, such as 2A, 2B, 2M, or 2N. It is appropriate for encounters documenting established disease, bleeding evaluation, or pre-procedure assessment.
Do not assign it for suspected bleeding disorders without a confirmed diagnosis. Check documentation if the chart names a different von Willebrand type or another coagulation disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for type 1 or type 3 von Willebrand disease, or for an unspecified von Willebrand disease code when the type 2 diagnosis is not documented. Check documentation.
Coding tip
If the subtype is missing, code type 2 unspecified only when the provider clearly documents type 2 von Willebrand disease.
