What This Code Means

D18.09 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for hemangioma of other sites. A benign blood vessel tumor found in body locations other than skin, brain, or abdominal organs. D18.09 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors (d10-d36).

D18.09 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.

Use this code for hemangiomas in sites such as bone, muscle, or other tissues.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for D18.09 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Use this code for hemangiomas in sites such as bone, muscle, or other tissues
