D13
D13 — Benign neoplasm of other and ill-defined parts of digestive system
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
D13 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for benign neoplasm of other and ill-defined parts of digestive system. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- benign stromal tumors of digestive system (D21.4)
Other codes that can never be billed with D13
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D13. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D13 alone.
Risk adjustment
D13 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.
