Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 9 more specific codes instead:

  • D17.0 Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of head, face and neck
  • D17.1 Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of trunk
  • D17.2 Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of limb (also a header)
  • D17.3 Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of other and unspecified sites (also a header)
  • D17.4 Benign lipomatous neoplasm of intrathoracic organs
  • D17.5 Benign lipomatous neoplasm of intra-abdominal organs
  • D17.6 Benign lipomatous neoplasm of spermatic cord
  • D17.7 Benign lipomatous neoplasm of other sites (also a header)
  • D17.9 Benign lipomatous neoplasm, unspecified

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.
