What This Code Means
D11.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign neoplasm of parotid gland. A benign (non-cancerous) tumor of the parotid gland, which is the largest salivary gland located in front of and below the ear. D11.0 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors (d10-d36).
D11.0 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.
Confirm the neoplasm is in the parotid gland specifically, not other salivary glands, to avoid miscoding.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for D11.0 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Confirm the neoplasm is in the parotid gland specifically, not other salivary glands, to avoid miscoding
- •Document laterality (left, right, or bilateral) if available, though the base code does not require it
