Neoplasms (C00-D49), in the block In situ neoplasms (D00-D09).

What cannot be coded together with D05.8?

D05.8

D05.8 — Other specified type of carcinoma in situ of breast

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

D05.8 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other specified type of carcinoma in situ of breast. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above D05.8

These are not written on D05.8, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing D05.8 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on D05 — Carcinoma in situ of breast

carcinoma in situ of skin of breast (D04.5)
melanoma in situ of breast (skin) (D03.5)
Paget's disease of breast or nipple (C50.-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above D05.8

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of D05.8, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on D05 — Carcinoma in situ of breast

malignant neoplasm of breast (C50.-)

Risk adjustment

D05.8 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 history

D05.8 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.

Code to one of these instead D05.8
