ICD-10 Code D68.04 – Acquired von Willebrand disease (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D68.04 – Acquired von Willebrand disease
What it is
D68.04 identifies acquired von Willebrand disease, a bleeding disorder caused by a later loss or reduction of von Willebrand factor. Use it when the condition is not inherited and is documented as acquired.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings include mucocutaneous bleeding, easy bruising, nosebleeds, gum bleeding, or excessive bleeding after procedures.
When to use this code
Use D68.04 when the provider documents acquired von Willebrand disease, including cases linked to another underlying disorder. Code it from the final diagnosis, not from a lab result alone.
If the record only says “von Willebrand disease” without specifying acquired versus inherited, check documentation before assigning this code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for inherited von Willebrand disease or for nonspecific bleeding without a documented diagnosis. Check documentation if the chart only suggests a coagulation abnormality.
Coding tip
Look for the word “acquired” in the assessment, discharge summary, or problem list before coding D68.04.
