Is D14.2 an HCC code?
No. D14.2 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to any HCC category in V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC.
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
D14.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign neoplasm of trachea. A benign (non-cancerous) tumor that grows in the trachea, which is the windpipe that carries air to the lungs. This type of growth is not life-threatening but may cause breathing difficulties depending on its size and location. D14.2 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors (d10-d36).
D14.2 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Verify documentation specifies the trachea location and confirms the neoplasm is benign before assigning this code.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for D14.2 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation specifies the trachea location and confirms the neoplasm is benign before assigning this code
- •Do not use this code if the tumor is malignant or if the site is the larynx or bronchus, as those have separate codes
