Excludes1 inherited from the categories above D35.0

These are not written on D35.0, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing D35.0 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on D35 — Benign neoplasm of other and unspecified endocrine glands

benign neoplasm of endocrine pancreas (D13.7)
benign neoplasm of ovary (D27.-)
benign neoplasm of testis (D29.2.-)
benign neoplasm of thymus (D15.0)

Risk adjustment

D35.0 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.

Code history

D35.0 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.

Code to one of these instead D35.0
