ICD-10 Code D68.2 – Hereditary deficiency of other clotting factors (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D68.2 – Hereditary deficiency of other clotting factors
What it is
D68.2 identifies an inherited lack of a clotting factor other than the common hemophilia factors. Use it for documented hereditary coagulation factor deficiencies that cause impaired blood clotting.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings include easy bruising, prolonged bleeding after injury or procedures, and a personal or family history suggesting an inherited bleeding disorder.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states a hereditary deficiency of a specific clotting factor, and the factor is not better captured by a more specific ICD-10-CM code. It may support workups for unexplained bleeding, abnormal coagulation studies, or a known familial disorder. Check documentation if the factor type is not specified.
Do not use for
Do not use D68.2 for acquired coagulation defects, anticoagulant-related bleeding, or hemophilia A or B when a more specific code applies. If the documentation is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the most specific hereditary factor deficiency documented, and confirm whether the chart names the affected factor.
