About coding anticoagulant lupus
The ICD-10-CM code for anticoagulant lupus is D68.62 (Lupus anticoagulant syndrome). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on D68.62.
Within D68.6 (other thrombophilia), D68.62 is specifically for lupus anticoagulant syndrome. Related codes cover Antiphospholipid syndrome (D68.61) and other thrombophilia (D68.69).
Don't report D68.62 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: lupus anticoagulant (LAC) finding without diagnosis (R76.0).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of D68.62, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: anticardiolipin syndrome (D68.61), antiphospholipid syndrome (D68.61) and lupus anticoagulant (LAC) with hemorrhagic disorder (D68.312).
