D02.0 — Carcinoma in situ of larynx
D02.0 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for carcinoma in situ of larynx. 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.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Carcinoma in situ of aryepiglottic fold or interarytenoid fold, laryngeal aspect
- Carcinoma in situ of epiglottis (suprahyoid portion)
Other codes that can never be billed with D02.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D02.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D02.0 alone.
- D00.0Carcinoma in situ of lip, oral cavity and pharynx
Risk adjustment
D02.0 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
D02.0 is named in 17 Medicare coverage policies — 17 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
