D10.39

D10.39 — Benign neoplasm of other parts of mouth

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

D10.39 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for benign neoplasm of other parts of mouth. 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.

benign odontogenic neoplasms (D16.4-D16.5)
benign neoplasm of mucosa of lip (D10.0)
benign neoplasm of nasopharyngeal surface of soft palate (D10.6)

Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

Benign neoplasm of minor salivary gland NOS

Other codes that can never be billed with D10.39

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D10.39. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D10.39 alone.

D11Benign neoplasm of major salivary glands

Risk adjustment

D10.39 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

D10.39 is named in 12 Medicare coverage policies — 12 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
