What This Code Means
D37.032 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of the submandibular salivary glands. A growth in the submandibular salivary glands (salivary glands under the jaw) with uncertain behavior that needs further investigation. D37.032 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering neoplasms of uncertain behavior, polycythemia vera and myelodysplastic syndromes (d37-d48).
D37.032 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.
The fifth character '2' specifies submandibular glands; confirm the anatomical site matches submandibular location in documentation.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for D37.032 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •The fifth character '2' specifies submandibular glands; confirm the anatomical site matches submandibular location in documentation
- •Ensure pathology or imaging clearly identifies this gland location before assigning this specific code
