Use additional code
Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.
Other codes that can never be billed with D02
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D02. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D02 alone.
- D00.0Carcinoma in situ of lip, oral cavity and pharynx
Risk adjustment
D02 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 D02
5 child codes. Green means billable.
