D03.7Melanoma in situ of lower limb, including hip

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

D03.7 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for melanoma in situ of lower limb, including hip. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Other codes that can never be billed with D03.7

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D03.7. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D03.7 alone.

  • C43Malignant melanoma of skin
  • D00Carcinoma in situ of oral cavity, esophagus and stomach
  • D01Carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified digestive organs
  • D02Carcinoma in situ of middle ear and respiratory system
  • D04Carcinoma in situ of skin
  • D09Carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified sites

Risk adjustment

D03.7 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.

D03.7 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
