About D22

D22 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Melanocytic nevi. It belongs to block D10-D36 (benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 9 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D22.0 (of lip), D22.1 (of eyelid, including canthus), D22.2 (of ear and external auricular canal), D22.3 (of other and unspecified parts of face), D22.4 (of scalp and neck), D22.5 (of trunk), D22.6 (of upper limb, including shoulder), D22.7 (of lower limb, including hip) and 1 more.

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