D77Other disorders of blood and blood-forming organs in diseases classified elsewhere

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

D77 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for other disorders of blood and blood-forming organs in diseases classified elsewhere. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • rupture of spleen due to Plasmodium vivax malaria (B51.0)
  • splenitis, splenomegaly in late syphilis (A52.79)
  • splenitis, splenomegaly in tuberculosis (A18.85)

Code first

The underlying condition must be sequenced before this code.

  • underlying disease, such as:
  • amyloidosis (E85.-)
  • congenital early syphilis (A50.0-)
  • echinococcosis (B67.0-B67.9)
  • malaria (B50.0-B54)
  • schistosomiasis [bilharziasis] (B65.0-B65.9)
  • vitamin C deficiency (E54)

Risk adjustment

D77 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Medicare coverage

D77 is named in 14 Medicare coverage policies 14 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
