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

What it is

D68 identifies other coagulation defects, meaning a disorder of blood clotting that does not fit a more specific ICD-10 code. Use it when documentation confirms a coagulation abnormality, but the exact type is not stated.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly reported findings may include easy bruising, prolonged bleeding, or abnormal clotting test results, but you should code only what is documented and clinically supported.

When to use this code

Use D68 when the record documents a coagulation defect and the provider does not name a more specific disorder. It may apply to inherited or acquired clotting abnormalities that remain unspecified in the final diagnosis. If the note names a distinct condition, choose that code instead.

Do not use for

Do not use D68 for thrombocytopenia, hemophilia, or anticoagulant-related bleeding when a more specific code is documented. Check documentation if the condition is actually a bleeding symptom without a confirmed coagulation defect.

Coding tip

Code the most specific coagulation disorder documented; use D68 only when the provider leaves the defect unspecified.
