D00Carcinoma in situ of oral cavity, esophagus and stomach

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

D00 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for carcinoma in situ of oral cavity, esophagus and stomach. 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 D00

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D00. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D00 alone.

  • D02.0Carcinoma in situ of larynx
  • K13.2Leukoplakia and other disturbances of oral epithelium, including tongue

Risk adjustment

D00 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 D00

3 child codes. Green means billable.
