D3A ICD-10-CM Code: Benign neuroendocrine tumors

D3A is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign neuroendocrine tumors. D3A sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering benign neuroendocrine tumors (d3a).

Header codes like D3A cannot be reported on claims directly, they organize child codes that share clinical context but the actual diagnosis must be coded to the highest level of specificity supported by the documentation. Coders should look at D3A's child codes and select the one that matches the patient's documented presentation, since payers reject header codes submitted as the primary diagnosis. For risk adjustment workflows, header codes never contribute to a Medicare Advantage member's RAF score on their own; only billable child codes that happen to map to a payment HCC affect risk-adjusted plan payments.
