About D02.0

D02.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for carcinoma in situ of larynx. It belongs to category D02 (carcinoma in situ of middle ear and respiratory system), block D00-D09 (in situ neoplasms) 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 D02 (carcinoma in situ of middle ear and respiratory system), D02.0 is specifically for carcinoma in situ of larynx. Related codes cover trachea (D02.1), bronchus and lung (D02.2), other parts of respiratory system (D02.3) and respiratory system, unspecified (D02.4).

Don't report D02.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: carcinoma in situ of aryepiglottic fold or interarytenoid fold NOS (D00.08), carcinoma in situ of hypopharyngeal aspect (D00.08) and carcinoma in situ of marginal zone (D00.08).

Use an additional code to identify: exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22), exposure to tobacco smoke in the perinatal period (P96.81), history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891), occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31), tobacco dependence (F17.-) and 1 more.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 011 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with MCC, relative weight 5.6154), DRG 012 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with CC, relative weight 4.381), DRG 013 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy without CC/MCC, relative weight 2.7307), DRG 146 (Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Malignancy with MCC, relative weight 2.1329), DRG 147 (Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Malignancy with CC, relative weight 1.3055) and DRG 148 (Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.8008), in Pre-MDC and MDC 03 (Diseases and Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat), 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 231.0 (carcinoma in situ of larynx).
