D09 — Carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified sites
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
D09 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified sites. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

- D02.3Carcinoma in situ of other parts of respiratory system
Risk adjustment
D09 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 D09
6 child codes. Green means billable.
