ICD-10 Code D69.8 – Other specified hemorrhagic conditions (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Other specified hemorrhagic conditions is D69.8.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D69.8 – Other specified hemorrhagic conditions

What it is

D69.8 is used for bleeding disorders or hemorrhagic conditions that do not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. It captures unusual or documented hemorrhagic problems when the record supports a specific “other specified” diagnosis.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see easy bruising, mucosal bleeding, or other abnormal bleeding patterns, but the chart should identify the condition as a specified hemorrhagic disorder.

When to use this code

Use D69.8 when the provider documents a hemorrhagic condition that is clearly specified but not named elsewhere in ICD-10-CM. It is appropriate when the record supports a distinct bleeding disorder and no more specific code applies. Check documentation if the diagnosis is vague or incomplete.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for thrombocytopenia, platelet function disorders, or inherited coagulation defects when a more specific code is available. Do not assign it for nonspecific “bleeding” without a documented diagnosis.

Coding tip

Code the most specific documented hemorrhagic condition first, and use D69.8 only when no better-defined ICD-10-CM option exists.
