Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code

D41.2 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
The 2018 edition of ICD-10-CM D41.2 became effective on October 1, 2017.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of D41.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 D41.2 may differ.

C00-D49
2018 ICD-10-CM Range C00-D49
Neoplasms
Note
- Functional activity
- All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
- Morphology [Histology]
- Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.
- Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries
- A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
- Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue
- Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified (C25.9).
Neoplasms
D37-D48
2018 ICD-10-CM Range D37-D48
Neoplasms of uncertain behavior, polycythemia vera and myelodysplastic syndromes
Note
- Categories D37-D44, and D48 classify by site neoplasms of uncertain behavior, i.e., histologic confirmation whether the neoplasm is malignant or benign cannot be made.
Type 1 Excludes
- neoplasms of unspecified behavior (D49.-)
Neoplasms of uncertain behavior, polycythemia vera and myelodysplastic syndromes
