D19 — Benign neoplasm of mesothelial tissue

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Other codes that can never be billed with D19

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D19. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D19 alone.

D15Benign neoplasm of other and unspecified intrathoracic organs
D20Benign neoplasm of soft tissue of retroperitoneum and peritoneum

D19 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 D19

4 child codes. Green means billable.
