Listing 7.08

Disorders of thrombosis and hemostasis

This listing covers blood clotting and bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, thrombocytopenia, and clotting disorders like Factor V Leiden.

Read the full plain-language explanation

SSA looks for lab proof of the disorder plus at least three hospital stays in one year caused by complications like blood clots, bleeding, or anemia. Surgery that requires clotting-factor treatment or blood thinners also counts as a complication.

What SSA looks for — see the 1 items

We will check your records against each of these. Every item comes straight from SSA's own listing.

    • You were hospitalized at least 3 times in one 12-month period for complications of your clotting or bleeding disorder (like blood clots, embolisms, uncontrolled bleeding, or anemia).
    • Each stay must last at least 48 hours (ER or hemophilia treatment center time right before admission counts), and stays must be at least 30 days apart.
    • The hospitalizations can be for different complications, and surgery counts if you needed clotting-factor treatment or anticoagulant medicine to control bleeding for it.

  • The general 12-month duration expectation also applies.
