Is D41.00 an HCC code?

No. D41.00 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to any HCC category in V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC.

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

D41.00 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of unspecified kidney. A growth in the kidney of unspecified side that has uncertain malignant potential and requires additional testing to determine its nature. D41.00 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).

D41.00 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.

Verify laterality documentation; if the kidney side is specified, use D41.01 or D41.02 instead.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for D41.00 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Verify laterality documentation; if the kidney side is specified, use D41.01 or D41.02 instead
  • Imaging reports should clearly indicate which kidney is affected to allow for proper code assignment
