The Basics of ICD Diagnosis Coding
What is the normal INR range? A person taking the anticoagulant (blood thinner) Coumadin ® or “warfarin” should maintain an INR within the safe therapeutic range prescribed by their doctor. Most commonly patients will be prescribed a therapeutic range of (INR) 2.0 – 3.0 and patients with a mechanical heart valve will often have a therapeutic range that is higher than this.
Hemorrhagic disorder due to extrinsic circulating anticoagulants. D68. 32 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D68.

Warfarin (brand name: Jantoven) is a prescription medication that interferes with normal blood clotting (coagulation). It is also called an anticoagulant. Warfarin is sold under the brand name Coumadin in some countries; however, this brand is no longer available in the United States or Canada.
The physician attributed the bleeding to long term Coumadin therapy and adjusts the Coumadin dosage. Assign D68. 32, Hemorrhagic disorder due to extrinsic circulating anticoagulants, followed by K26.
The diagnosis of coagulopathy (D689) serves as an exclusion from the PSI-9 measure.
'Subtherapeutic INR levels' means that the patient is underwarfarinised, therefore as per ACS 0303 the correct code to assign is D68. 8 Other specified coagulation defects.
