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 5 more specific codes instead:

  • D39.0 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of uterus
  • D39.1 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of ovary (also a header)
  • D39.2 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of placenta
  • D39.8 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified female genital organs
  • D39.9 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of female genital organ, 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.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of female genital organs

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.

Inherited from the D37-D48 section Neoplasms of uncertain behavior, polycythemia vera and myelodysplastic syndromes (D37-D48)

Excludes1 - never coded here

  • neoplasms of unspecified behavior (D49.-)

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.
