D03.3Melanoma in situ of other and unspecified parts of face

D03.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for melanoma in situ of other and unspecified parts of face. It belongs to category D03 (melanoma in situ), block D00-D09 (in situ neoplasms) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within D03, choose D03.3 (of other and unspecified parts of face) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: of lip (D03.0), of eyelid, including canthus (D03.1), of ear and external auricular canal (D03.2), of scalp and neck (D03.4), of trunk (D03.5), of upper limb, including shoulder (D03.6), of lower limb, including hip (D03.7), of other sites (D03.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D03.30 (face) and D03.39 (face).

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