ICD-10 Code D70.8 – Other Neutropenia (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D70.8 – Other neutropenia
What it is
D70.8 identifies neutropenia that does not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. It means the patient has an abnormally low neutrophil count or a documented neutropenic disorder, and you need the “other” code because the record is nonspecific.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include recurrent infections, fever, mouth sores, or other signs of impaired neutrophil defense, but the chart should confirm neutropenia rather than another blood disorder.
When to use this code
Use D70.8 when the provider documents neutropenia and does not specify a more exact type such as drug-induced, congenital, or cyclic neutropenia. It also fits when the note simply states “other neutropenia” or gives a nonspecific neutropenic condition. Check documentation if the cause is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use D70.8 if the record identifies a different neutropenia type with its own code. Avoid this code when the diagnosis is only leukopenia, pancytopenia, or another unrelated hematologic disorder.
Coding tip
Code the most specific neutropenia documented, and query the provider if the cause or type is missing.
