D04
D04 — Carcinoma in situ of skin
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
D04 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for carcinoma in situ of skin. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with D04
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D04. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D04 alone.
Risk adjustment
D04 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.
