- Code Navigator:
D37.09 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified sites of the oral cavity. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms reference this diagnosis code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic alveolar ; Neoplasm, neoplastic alveolar mucosa ; Neoplasm, neoplastic alveolar mucosa lower ; Neoplasm, neoplastic alveolar mucosa upper ; Neoplasm, neoplastic alveolar ridge or process mucosa ; Neoplasm, neoplastic alveolar ridge or process mucosa lower ; Neoplasm, neoplastic alveolar ridge or process mucosa upper ; etc

Clinical Classification
Clinical Category is Neoplasms of unspecified nature or uncertain behavior
- CCSR Category Code: NEO072
- Inpatient Default CCSR: Y - Yes, default inpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
- Outpatient Default CCSR: Y - Yes, default outpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
Clinical Information
Cleft Palate
congenital fissure of the soft and/or hard palate, due to faulty fusion.Palatal Obturators
appliances that close a cleft or fissure of the palate.Palate
the structure that forms the roof of the mouth. it consists of the anterior hard palate (palate, hard) and the posterior soft palate (palate, soft).Palate, Hard
the anteriorly located rigid section of the palate.Palate, Soft
a movable fold suspended from the posterior border of the hard palate. the uvula hangs from the middle of the lower border.

Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Table of Neoplasms
This code is referenced in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.
Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
