D3A.02 — Benign carcinoid tumors of the appendix, large intestine, and rectum
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
D3A.02 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for benign carcinoid tumors of the appendix, large intestine, and rectum. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with D3A.02
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D3A.02. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D3A.02 alone.
Risk adjustment
D3A.02 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.
