D04.3Carcinoma in situ of skin of other and unspecified parts of face

D04.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for carcinoma in situ of skin of other and unspecified parts of face. It belongs to category D04 (carcinoma in situ of skin), 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 D04, choose D04.3 (of other and unspecified parts of face) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: of lip (D04.0), of eyelid, including canthus (D04.1), of ear and external auricular canal (D04.2), of scalp and neck (D04.4), of trunk (D04.5), of upper limb, including shoulder (D04.6), of lower limb, including hip (D04.7), of other sites (D04.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D04.30 (face) and D04.39 (face).

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