Default ITP during pregnancy

How do you code " Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) during pregnancy"?
Would you need a different code for "gestational thrombocytopenia"?

Hey ,

I think PDx: 649.33 & SDx: 287.31 is the appropriate coding for this scenario!!!

649.33 : Coagulation defects complicating pregnancy, childbirth, or the puerperium
Conditions classifiable to 286.*, 287.*, 289.*
Use additional code to identify the specific coagulation defect (286.0-286.9, 287.0- 287.9, 289.0-289.9).

Hope this helps!!!

VJ
