D18.09 — Hemangioma of other sites
D18.09 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for hemangioma of other sites. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Risk adjustment
D18.09 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
D18.09 is named in 31 Medicare coverage policies — 31 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
