C62 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for malignant neoplasm of testis, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as C62.00, C62.01, C62.02, and C62.10.

Specific Coding for Malignant neoplasm of testisOverview

Non-specific codes like C62 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • C62.0 for Malignant neoplasm of undescended testis

  • Use C62.00 for Malignant neoplasm of unspecified undescended testis

  • Use C62.01 for Malignant neoplasm of undescended right testis

  • Use C62.02 for Malignant neoplasm of undescended left testis

  • C62.1 for Malignant neoplasm of descended testis

  • Use C62.10 for Malignant neoplasm of unspecified descended testis

  • Use C62.11 for Malignant neoplasm of descended right testis

  • Use C62.12 for Malignant neoplasm of descended left testis

  • C62.9 for Malignant neoplasm of testis, unspecified whether descended or undescended

  • Use C62.90 for Malignant neoplasm of unspecified testis, unspecified whether descended or undescended

  • Use C62.91 for Malignant neoplasm of right testis, unspecified whether descended or undescended

  • Use C62.92 for Malignant neoplasm of left testis, unspecified whether descended or undescended

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to C62: its own notes plus those printed at block C60-C63 and Chapter 2. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

From Block C60-C63 Malignant neoplasms of male genital organs applies to 25 codes
  • malignant neoplasm of skin of male genital organs

Add a second code, after this one, to fully describe the condition.

  • code to identify any functional activity

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 2 (C00-D49) Neoplasms applies to 1,730 codes
  • Functional activity
  • All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
  • Morphology [Histology]
  • Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.
  • Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries
  • 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. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
  • Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue
  • Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified (C25.9).

Patient EducationClinical

Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer is a cancer that develops in the tissues of one or both testicles. The testicles, or testes, are part of the male reproductive system. They make male hormones and sperm. They are two egg-shaped glands inside the scrotum, a sac of loose skin that lies below the penis. You can get cancer in one or both testicles.
