What This Code Means
D23.71 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other benign neoplasm of skin of right lower limb, including hip. A benign (non-cancerous) skin growth on the right thigh, lower leg, foot, or hip. D23.71 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors (d10-d36).
D23.71 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.
This is the laterally-specific code for right-sided lower limb lesions; always use when right side is documented.
