D14.0

D14.0 — Benign neoplasm of middle ear, nasal cavity and accessory sinuses

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

D14.0 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for benign neoplasm of middle ear, nasal cavity and accessory sinuses. 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 neoplasm of auricular canal (external) (D22.2-, D23.2-)
benign neoplasm of bone of ear (D16.4)
benign neoplasm of bone of nose (D16.4)
benign neoplasm of cartilage of ear (D21.0)
benign neoplasm of ear (external)(skin) (D22.2-, D23.2-)
benign neoplasm of nose NOS (D36.7)
benign neoplasm of skin of nose (D22.39, D23.39)

Inclusion terms

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

Benign neoplasm of cartilage of nose

Other codes that can never be billed with D14.0

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D14.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D14.0 alone.

D16Benign neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage
D21Other benign neoplasms of connective and other soft tissue
J33Nasal polyp

Risk adjustment

D14.0 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

D14.0 is named in 17 Medicare coverage policies — 17 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.

How D14.0 is indexed

Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to D14.0.
