Which ICD-10-CM code represents hemophilia A?

• A. D65
• B. D50
• C. D68.0
• D. D66

Answer: (D)

Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII, and ICD-10-CM assigns this specific condition the code D66. That direct match makes it the correct choice, since the other options map to different issues: D65 is disseminated intravascular coagulation, D50 is iron deficiency anemia, and D68.0 covers other coagulation factor disorders not specifically factor VIII deficiency. Knowing that hemophilia A is factor VIII deficiency helps you pick D66 as the right code.
