What This Code Means

D40.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of male genital organ, unspecified. A growth in an unspecified male genital organ that cannot be classified as definitely benign or malignant and needs further diagnostic workup. D40.9 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).

D40.9 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 is a less specific code; attempt to obtain clarification on the exact organ location from the provider before coding.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for D40.9 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
