Hypercoagulable State ICD-10-CM Codes

Besides having a family history of thrombophilia, other risk factors include age, smoking, taking birth control pills, taking hormone replacement therapy, obesity, and pregnancy. Also, the most common inherited hypercoagulable condition is Factor V Leiden (activated protein C resistance), followed by Protein C and S deficiencies.

Since it’s a blood clotting-related problem, healthcare professionals will conduct blood tests and imaging tests (e.g., Angiograms and CT Scans).

Healthcare professionals will administer and prescribe anticoagulants. The dosages need to be followed to a T because using such medication poses risks like nosebleeds, hair loss, and abdominal pain. Thrombolytics will be administered during emergencies.
