C7B ICD-10-CM Code: Secondary neuroendocrine tumors

C7B is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for secondary neuroendocrine tumors. C7B sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering secondary neuroendocrine tumors (c7b).

Header codes like C7B cannot be reported on claims directly, they organize child codes that share clinical context but the actual diagnosis must be coded to the highest level of specificity supported by the documentation. Coders should look at C7B's child codes and select the one that matches the patient's documented presentation, since payers reject header codes submitted as the primary diagnosis. For risk adjustment workflows, header codes never contribute to a Medicare Advantage member's RAF score on their own; only billable child codes that happen to map to a payment HCC affect risk-adjusted plan payments.
