D09Carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified sites

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

D09 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified sites. 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.

  • melanoma in situ (D03.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with D09

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D09. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D09 alone.

  • D02.3Carcinoma in situ of other parts of respiratory system

Risk adjustment

D09 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 D09

6 child codes. Green means billable.
