What is ICD-10 code D69.2?

D69.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Other nonthrombocytopenic purpura. Purpura (purple bruising) that occurs without low platelet counts, often caused by blood vessel or immune system issues. D69.2 is a billable code, meaning it can be reported on a claim as a primary or secondary diagnosis when supported by documentation. D69.2 is part of the FY2026 ICD-10-CM code set published by the CMS National Center for Health Statistics and used on Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial claims in the United States.

Yes. D69.2 is a billable ICD-10-CM code that can be reported on professional and institutional claims as a primary or secondary diagnosis when the provider documentation supports the specific condition described. Billable codes in ICD-10-CM are coded to the highest level of specificity available for the documented diagnosis. D69.2 is current for fiscal year 2026 and remains in the active CMS ICD-10-CM code set published by the National Center for Health Statistics.

Which HCC does D69.2 map to under V28?

D69.2 does not map to a CMS-HCC V28 payment category. Check the current CMS-HCC V28 model file for payment year 2026 rather than an older V24 tip sheet.

What does D69.2 pay in RAF?

D69.2 has no separately stated V28 community RAF weight. If it is not a V28 payment HCC, it adds nothing to a community RAF score.

What is the V28 vs V24 difference for D69.2?

CMS phased in the V28 risk adjustment model over payment years 2024 (33%), 2025 (67%), and 2026 (100%), replacing V24. V28 consolidates HCC categories, removes some lower-acuity conditions, and recalibrates RAF weights across the entire model. D69.2 was a payment HCC under V24 (Coagulation Defects and Other Specified Hematological Disorders) but the V28 recalibration removed it from the risk adjustment model. Both models can still appear in legacy data and in payer-specific lookback periods.

Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance

Document the distribution and characteristics of purpuric lesions, confirmation of normal platelet count, absence of coagulation abnormalities, and suspected etiology (aging, corticosteroid use, vitamin C deficiency/scurvy, amyloidosis).

Record any contributing medications and whether further workup is indicated.

MEAT Support

HCC Buddy guidance

Record any contributing medications and whether further workup is indicated.

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance

Senile purpura is a benign condition that may not warrant coding unless clinically significant or prompting evaluation.

Distinguish from purpura secondary to amyloidosis, which should be coded with the amyloidosis code.

Corticosteroid-induced purpura may be mistaken for a primary bleeding disorder — assess medication history.

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance

D69.0 (Allergic purpura) — IgA-mediated vasculitis with specific systemic features

D69.3 (Immune thrombocytopenic purpura) — thrombocytopenic, not nonthrombocytopenic

E54 (Ascorbic acid deficiency/Scurvy) — vitamin C deficiency causing purpura should be coded to the underlying deficiency.

Is D69.2 an HCC code?

Yes. D69.2 maps to Coagulation Defects and Other Specified Hematological Disorders under the V24 model but is not retained in V28.

Each model's RAF is its CMS base weight for that model's standard population, so weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member segment, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains in use during the transition and for historical data.

MEAT Criteria for D69.2

For D69.2 to count as a valid HCC diagnosis in a given encounter, the provider's documentation must show MEAT: Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat. A diagnosis from a prior year does not carry forward automatically, it has to be re-documented and supported each calendar year.

MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

Only one of M/E/A/T is required to support the code, but the documentation must be specific enough to show that the provider actually addressed D69.2 during that encounter, not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means

D69.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other nonthrombocytopenic purpura. Purpura (purple bruising) that occurs without low platelet counts, often caused by blood vessel or immune system issues. D69.2 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (d50-d89), within the section covering coagulation defects, purpura and other hemorrhagic conditions (d65-d69).

Under the older CMS-HCC V24 model, D69.2 maps to Coagulation Defects and Other Specified Hematological Disorders (HCC 48) with a community, non-dual, aged base RAF weight of 0.192. V28 is the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model that reached 100% phase-in for payment year 2026, replacing V24 which was used during the PY2024–PY2025 transition.

Confirm platelet count is normal to differentiate from thrombocytopenic purpura. Because D69.2 maps to a payment HCC, the provider's documentation must satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) for the encounter to count toward the patient's Medicare Advantage risk adjustment score. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for D69.2 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

•Confirm platelet count is normal to differentiate from thrombocytopenic purpura
•Document the underlying cause if identified (e.g., Henoch-Schönlein purpura, drug-induced)

Clinical Significance

Other nonthrombocytopenic purpura encompasses purpuric conditions occurring with normal platelet counts from non-allergic causes, including senile (actinic) purpura in elderly patients, steroid purpura, and mechanical purpura. Senile purpura is the most common form, caused by age-related dermal atrophy and capillary fragility, particularly on sun-exposed areas of the forearms.

Documentation Requirements

✓Document the distribution and characteristics of purpuric lesions, confirmation of normal platelet count, absence of coagulation abnormalities, and suspected etiology (aging, corticosteroid use, vitamin C deficiency/scurvy, amyloidosis).
✓Record any contributing medications and whether further workup is indicated.

Commonly Confused Codes

•D69.0 (Allergic purpura): IgA-mediated vasculitis with specific systemic features
•D69.3 (Immune thrombocytopenic purpura): thrombocytopenic, not nonthrombocytopenic
•E54 (Ascorbic acid deficiency/Scurvy): vitamin C deficiency causing purpura should be coded to the underlying deficiency.
