About D19.0

D19.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign neoplasm of mesothelial tissue of pleura. It belongs to category D19 (benign neoplasm of mesothelial tissue), block D10-D36 (benign neoplasms, except benign 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 D19 (benign neoplasm of mesothelial tissue), D19.0 is specifically for benign neoplasm of mesothelial tissue of pleura. Related codes cover of peritoneum (D19.1), of other sites (D19.7) and unspecified (D19.9).

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 180 (Respiratory Neoplasms with MCC, relative weight 1.7806), DRG 181 (Respiratory Neoplasms with CC, relative weight 1.0936) and DRG 182 (Respiratory Neoplasms without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7439), in MDC 04 (Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory System), 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 212.4 (benign neoplasm of pleura).
