D04Carcinoma in situ of skin

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

D04 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for carcinoma in situ of skin. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • erythroplasia of Queyrat (penis) NOS (D07.4)
  • melanoma in situ (D03.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with D04

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D04. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D04 alone.

  • D00.0Carcinoma in situ of lip, oral cavity and pharynx
  • D02.3Carcinoma in situ of other parts of respiratory system
  • D05Carcinoma in situ of breast
  • D09.2Carcinoma in situ of eye
  • D01.3Carcinoma in situ of anus and anal canal

Risk adjustment

D04 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead D04

10 child codes. Green means billable.
