  • D03.0 Melanoma in situ of lip

  • D03.2 Melanoma in situ of ear and external auricular canal (also a header)

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
