D39.2

D39.2 — Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of placenta

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

D39.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of placenta. 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.

hydatidiform mole NOS (O01.9)

Inclusion terms

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

Chorioadenoma destruens
Invasive hydatidiform mole
Malignant hydatidiform mole

Other codes that can never be billed with D39.2

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D39.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D39.2 alone.

C58Malignant neoplasm of placenta
O01Hydatidiform mole

Risk adjustment

D39.2 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

D39.2 is named in 19 Medicare coverage policies — 19 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
