The ICD-10 code for Other specified coagulation defects is D68.8.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D68.8 – Other specified coagulation defects

What it is

D68.8 is used for coagulation disorders that do not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. It captures an identified clotting defect when the record names a distinct condition but not a better code.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see abnormal bleeding, easy bruising, or prolonged bleeding after injury or procedures when a coagulation defect is documented.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents a specific coagulation defect that is not indexed elsewhere in ICD-10-CM. It can apply when the chart confirms a non-specific or uncommon clotting abnormality and no more precise code is available. Check documentation for the exact diagnosis term.

Do not use for

Do not use D68.8 for hereditary factor deficiencies, anticoagulant-related bleeding, or other coded coagulopathies with a specific ICD-10 assignment. If the condition is described more precisely, choose the specific code instead.

Coding tip

Look for the exact provider wording and code the most specific coagulation disorder documented.
