About C06

C06 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for malignant neoplasm of other and unspecified parts of mouth. It belongs to block C00-C14 (malignant neoplasms of lip, oral cavity and pharynx) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: C06.0 (mucosa), C06.1 (mouth), C06.2 (area), C06.8 (mouth) and C06.9 (unspecified).

Use an additional code to identify: alcohol abuse and dependence (F10.-), history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891), tobacco dependence (F17.-) and tobacco use (Z72.0).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
