D01.0
D01.0 — Carcinoma in situ of colon
Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM
D01.0 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for carcinoma in situ of colon. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- carcinoma in situ of rectosigmoid junction (D01.1)
Risk adjustment
D01.0 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.
Medicare coverage
D01.0 is named in 22 Medicare coverage policies — 22 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
