Official coding guidelines

From the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, FY 2027 (CMS and NCHS). Links open the PDF at the right page.

There are no chapter-specific rules for Chapter 3 yet, so the general rules in Section I.B apply.

Read Section I.C.3 (page 39)

D71 MS-DRGs

As the principal diagnosis, all 3 billable codes under D71 group to MS-DRG 808, 809, or 810 (v44.0). Which one applies depends on procedures performed, secondary diagnoses (CC/MCC), and the patient's age and discharge status.

About the condition

Plain-language background from MedlinePlus (National Library of Medicine), not coding guidance.

Blood Disorders

Your blood is living tissue made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

Code history

Valid since FY2016, when ICD-10-CM took effect on October 1, 2015.

  • FY2026: Subcodes were added, so D71 is no longer billable on its own. New codes for cases coded here before: D71.1 (Leukocyte adhesion deficiency), D71.8 (Other functional disorders of polymorphonuclear neutrophils), D71.9 (Functional disorders of polymorphonuclear neutrophils, unspecified).
