What This Code Means

D39.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified female genital organs. A growth in female reproductive organs (other than uterus, ovary, or placenta) that cannot be definitively classified as benign or malignant. D39.8 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).

D39.8 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.

Specify the exact organ involved (fallopian tube, vagina, vulva, etc.) in the clinical documentation for clarity.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for D39.8 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Specify the exact organ involved (fallopian tube, vagina, vulva, etc.) in the clinical documentation for clarity
  • This is a catch-all code; use more specific codes (D39.0, D39.1, D39.2) when applicable
