What This Code Means
D23.70 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other benign neoplasm of skin of unspecified lower limb, including hip. A benign (non-cancerous) skin growth on a lower leg, thigh, foot, or hip area when the specific side is not documented. D23.70 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors (d10-d36).
D23.70 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but no current CMS-HCC V28 community payment mapping is shown, 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.
Use this code only when laterality (left or right) cannot be determined; prefer D23.71 or D23.72 when side is known.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for D23.70 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
