Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to D01.0: its own notes plus those printed at D01, block D00-D09, and Chapter 2. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
- 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).

Code HistoryHistory
Questions About D01.0Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for carcinoma in situ of colon?
The ICD-10-CM code for carcinoma in situ of colon is D01.0 (sometimes written as D010). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is D01.0 (Carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified digestive organs) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report carcinoma in situ of colon on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does D01.0 group to?
When carcinoma in situ of colon is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 375, 374, 376, with relative weights from 0.8925 to 2.1101 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can D01.0 be reported with D01.1?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on D01.0 lists "carcinoma in situ of rectosigmoid junction (D01.1)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of D01.0?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, carcinoma in situ of colon converts to ICD-9-CM 230.3 (ca in situ colon). The mapping is a direct match.
