D22.3Melanocytic nevi of other and unspecified parts of face

D22.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Melanocytic nevi of other and unspecified parts of face. It belongs to category D22 (Melanocytic nevi), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within D22, choose D22.3 (of other and unspecified parts of face) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: of lip (D22.0), of eyelid, including canthus (D22.1), of ear and external auricular canal (D22.2), of scalp and neck (D22.4), of trunk (D22.5), of upper limb, including shoulder (D22.6), of lower limb, including hip (D22.7) and unspecified (D22.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D22.30 (face) and D22.39 (face).

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