What This Code Means

D29.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign neoplasm of scrotum. A non-cancerous tumor that develops in the scrotum, the pouch of skin that contains the testicles. D29.4 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors (d10-d36).

D29.4 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.

This code applies to scrotal skin or tissue tumors, not tumors of the testicles or epididymis themselves.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for D29.4 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
