D04.70

Billable

Carcinoma in situ of skin of unspecified lower limb, including hip

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Abnormal skin cells on an unspecified leg or hip area that have the potential to become cancer but have not yet invaded deeper layers of skin.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when the specific lower limb location cannot be determined; if laterality is known, use D04.71 or D04.72
  • •Document whether the lesion is on the right or left leg to allow for more specific coding
