About D36.15
D36.15 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system of abdomen. It belongs to category D36 (benign neoplasm of other and unspecified sites), 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 D36.1 (benign neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system), D36.15 is specifically for benign neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system of abdomen. Related codes cover unspecified (D36.10), of face, head, and neck (D36.11), upper limb, including shoulder (D36.12), of lower limb, including hip (D36.13), of thorax (D36.14), of pelvis (D36.16) and of trunk, unspecified (D36.17).
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 564 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.4908), DRG 565 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9783) and DRG 566 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7378), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), 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 215.9 (other benign neoplasm of connective and other soft tissue, site unspecified).
