ICD-10 Code D68.09 – Other von Willebrand disease (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D68.09 – Other von Willebrand disease
What it is
D68.09 identifies von Willebrand disease that does not fit a more specific subtype in the chart. Use it for an inherited bleeding disorder involving abnormal von Willebrand factor when documentation says “other” or does not specify the type.
Clinical signs
Common findings include easy bruising, frequent nosebleeds, prolonged bleeding after injury or procedures, and heavy menstrual bleeding. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents von Willebrand disease but does not identify a specific type, variant, or subtype. It also fits cases labeled “other von Willebrand disease” or similar wording in the assessment. If the record names a more specific form, code that instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for hemophilia, acquired coagulation disorders, or thrombocytopenia unless the provider clearly documents von Willebrand disease. Check documentation when the type is specified or when the diagnosis is uncertain.
Coding tip
Query the provider if the note says von Willebrand disease but does not clarify whether it is a specific inherited type or another documented subtype.
