The CPT code describes what was done to the patient during the consultation, including diagnostic, laboratory, radiology, and surgical procedures while the ICD code identifies a diagnosis and describes a disease or medical condition. … CPT codes are more complex than ICD codes. What is a procedure code and why is it used?
ICD-9-CM 780.79 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 780.79 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
Hemangioma of intra-abdominal structures D18. 03 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D18. 03 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A hemangioma (he-man-jee-O-muh) is a bright red birthmark that shows up at birth or in the first or second week of life. It looks like a rubbery bump and is made up of extra blood vessels in the skin. A hemangioma can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly appears on the face, scalp, chest or back.
D18. 01 - Hemangioma of skin and subcutaneous tissue | ICD-10-CM.
Hemangiomas of the skin can form in the top layer of skin or in the fatty layer underneath, which is called the subcutaneous layer. At first, a hemangioma may appear to be a red birthmark on the skin. Slowly, it will start to protrude upward from the skin. However, hemangiomas are not usually present at birth.
The two main types of infantile hemangiomas are:Superficial hemangiomas, or cutaneous ("in-the-skin") hemangiomas, grow on the skin surface. ... Deep hemangiomas grow under the skin, making it bulge, often with a blue or purple tint.
Liver hemangiomas are the most common type of benign liver lesions. They're made up of tangled clumps of blood vessels. Most don't cause symptoms and don't need to be removed. They don't turn into cancerous tumors.

Angioma or haemangioma (American spelling 'hemangioma') describes a benign vascular skin lesion. An angioma is due to proliferating endothelial cells; these are the cells that line the inside of a blood vessel.
A congenital hemangioma (hee-man-jee-OH-muh) is a type of birthmark that happens when a tangled group of blood vessels grow in or under a baby's skin. Congenital means present at birth, so babies who have these hemangiomas are born with them.
Hemangiomas can form during adulthood. In adults, this benign growth of blood vessels is a cherry angioma. The round, cherry-red spots may be smooth or raised. They typically appear on a person's trunk after age 30.
Most hemangiomas appear on the skin surface and are bright red. These are called superficial infantile hemangiomas and are sometimes called “strawberry birthmarks.” Some are deep under the skin and look either blue or skin-colored; these are called deep infantile hemangiomas.
The female hormone estrogen, which increases during pregnancy, is believed to cause some liver hemangiomas to grow larger. Very rarely, a growing hemangioma can cause signs and symptoms that may require treatment, including pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, abdominal bloating or nausea.
Rationale: In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Hemangioma/cavernous/intracranial which directs you to D18.02. Verification in the Tabular List confirms code selection.
Rationale: In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, look for Ataxia/telangiectasia directing you to code G11.3. Verification in the Tabular List confirms code selection.
Rationale: In the CPT® Index look for Biopsy/Spinal Cord/Percutaneous and you are directed to code 62269. Instructional note under code 62269 indicates for radiological supervision and interpretation, see 76942, 77002, and 77012. Ultrasound guidance for needle placement, 76942, can be separately billed. Modifier 26 is appended for the professional services. In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Syringomyelia directing you to code G95.0. Verification in the Tabular List confirms code selection.
Rationale: In the CPT® Index look for Thyroidectomy/Total/for Malignancy/Radical Neck Dissection directing you to 60254. A radical neck dissection includes removal of all lymph nodes. In the ICD-10-CM Table of Neoplasms look for Neoplasm, neoplastic/thyroid (gland) and select from the Malignant Primary column directing you to C73. Verification in the Tabular List confirms code selection.
Code selection is based on the number of interspaces and the location of spine. This is the lumbar spine and only one interspace is treated making 63030 the correct code.
Rationale: In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Pain (s)/chronic/due to trauma directing you to G89.21. Cervical pain is found by looking in the Alphabetic Index for Pain (s)/neck NEC directing you to M54.2. According to the ICD-10-CM guideline I.C.6.b.1.b.ii when the treatment is for pain management, the chronic pain is listed first.
Rationale: You are coding for both the approach and definitive procedures for the skull base surgery. In the CPT® Index look for Skull Base Surgery/Posterior Cranial Fossa/Transpetrosal Approach directing you to 61598 and Skull Base Surgery/Posterior Cranial Fossa/Intradural directing you to code 61616 which includes the repair. Modifier 51 is added to indicate the same surgeon performed more than one procedure.
A hemangioma arising from organs within the abdominal cavity.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D18.03 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D18.02 became effective on October 1, 2021.
