  • 2015
  • Billable Thru Sept 30/2015
  • Non-Billable On/After Oct 1/2015

  • ICD-9-CM 446.6 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 446.6 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.

Convert to ICD-10-CM: 446.6 converts directly to:
  • 2015/16 ICD-10-CM M31.1 Thrombotic microangiopathy
Clinical Information
  • A kind of blood disorder that causes blood clots to form in blood vessels around the body
  • Diseases that result in thrombosis in microvasculature. The two most prominent diseases are purpura, thrombotic thrombocytopenic; and hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Multiple etiological factors include vascular endothelial cell damage due to shiga toxin; factor h deficiency; and aberrant von willebrand factor formation
  • The syndromes of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and variable signs of organ impairment, due to platelet aggregation in the microcirculation
Applies To
  • Moschcowitz's syndrome
  • Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing and coding to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. ICD-9-CM 446.6 is one of thousands of ICD-9-CM codes used in healthcare. Although ICD-9-CM and CPT codes are largely numeric, they differ in that CPT codes describe medical procedures and services. Can't find a code?
