Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Malignant neoplasm of skin of scrotum
Other codes that can never be billed with C63.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at C63.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading C63.2 alone.
Risk adjustment
C63.2 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 23 Prostate, Breast, and Other Cancers and Tumors0.186 RAF
Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
