Factor V Leiden Mutation ICD-10-CM Codes

A Factor V Leiden Mutation ICD-10-CM code should be applied in medical documentation when diagnosing or managing a patient with this specific inherited genetic predisposition to thrombophilia.

The mutation is diagnosed through a blood test, often initiated because of a personal or family history of blood clots or when other signs of increased clotting risks are identified.

A diagnosis code for Factor V Leiden Mutation provides a standardized way of indicating that a patient has been identified with this specific genetic condition predisposing them to abnormal blood clotting. It aids in clinical care, research endeavors, and administrative tasks like health insurance claims.
