D01.1Carcinoma in situ of rectosigmoid junction

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

D01.1 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for carcinoma in situ of rectosigmoid junction. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above D01.1

These are not written on D01.1, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing D01.1 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on D01 Carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified digestive organs

  • melanoma in situ (D03.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with D01.1

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D01.1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D01.1 alone.

  • D01.0Carcinoma in situ of colon

Risk adjustment

D01.1 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

D01.1 is named in 23 Medicare coverage policies 23 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
