About C7B.03

C7B.03 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for secondary carcinoid tumors of bone. It belongs to category C7B (secondary neuroendocrine tumors), block C7B (secondary neuroendocrine tumors) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within C7B.0 (secondary carcinoid tumors), C7B.03 is specifically for secondary carcinoid tumors of bone. Related codes cover unspecified site (C7B.00), of distant lymph nodes (C7B.01), of liver (C7B.02), of peritoneum (C7B.04) and of other sites (C7B.09).

Use an additional code to identify any functional activity.

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 456 (Spinal Fusion Except Cervical with Spinal Curvature, Malignancy, or Infection with MCC, relative weight 7.6244), DRG 457 (Spinal Fusion Except Cervical with Spinal Curvature, Malignancy, or Infection with CC, relative weight 5.3668), DRG 458 (Spinal Fusion Except Cervical with Spinal Curvature, Malignancy, or Infection without CC/MCC, relative weight 4.0388), DRG 542 (Pathological Fractures and Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Malignancy with MCC, relative weight 1.7211), DRG 543 (Pathological Fractures and Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Malignancy with CC, relative weight 1.006) and DRG 544 (Pathological Fractures and Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7406), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 209.73 (secondary neuroendocrine tumor of bone).
