What This Code Means

D31.10 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign neoplasm of unspecified cornea. A non-cancerous growth on the cornea (the clear front part of the eye), but the specific eye is not documented. D31.10 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors (d10-d36).

D31.10 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.

Query the provider for laterality specification as corneal lesions are typically unilateral.
