Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

K13.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for leukoplakia and other disturbances of oral epithelium, including tongue. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

carcinoma in situ of oral epithelium (D00.0-)
hairy leukoplakia (K13.3)

Other codes that can never be billed with K13.2

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at K13.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading K13.2 alone.

Risk adjustment

K13.2 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.

Code to one of these instead K13.2

5 child codes. Green means billable.
