Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

D14 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for benign neoplasm of middle ear and respiratory system. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Other codes that can never be billed with D14

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D14. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D14 alone.

  • D16Benign neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage
  • D10.5Benign neoplasm of other parts of oropharynx
  • D21Other benign neoplasms of connective and other soft tissue
  • J33Nasal polyp
  • J38.1Polyp of vocal cord and larynx

Risk adjustment

D14 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 D14

5 child codes. Green means billable.
